Abstract

The study was conducted during 2018 to 2020 on seeds of barley variety HB1307 at Holetta Agricultural research center seed laboratory to determine the effect of different packaging materials for barely seed quality over various storage periods. Five packaging materials and five storage periods were laid out in Completely Randomized Design with four replications. Results showed that moisture content, thousand seed weight, germination percentage, vigor index-I, vigor index-II, and felid emergence index were affected by packaging materials, storage months and their interaction. Both standard germination and speed of germination had rapidly declined for seeds stored in jute bag and polypropylene bag ater 18 and 24 months of storage while hermetic bags maintained good germination. Storage fungi genera such as Ascochyta, Penicillium, Bipolaris, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Eppiccocum, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Botrytis, Cladosporium and Phoma were detected in the seed samples. Relatively less diseases incidence was observed for seed stored in supper grain pro bag at all storage months as compared to other storage materials. In conclusion, as storage month’s progress, barley seed quality deteriorates while packaging materials viz. polypropylene bag with polyethylene sheet lining, PICS bags and Super Grain Pro bag-maintained seed quality. Therefore, barley seed growers are advised to use such materials depending on their economic advantages.
