Abstract:

A laboratory experiment was conducted to predict the storability by accelerated ageing in onion in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, during 2018-19. The experiment consisted of fifteen seed lots with varied levels of germination and it was laid out in CRD design with four replications. All seed lots were subjected to: standard germination test, electrical conductivity test, radicle emergence test, accelerated ageing test and field emergence test. The results indicated that, accelerated ageing (AA) and field emergence was highly correlated with r = 0.925 and also with germination (r = 0.923). The accelerated ageing and electrical conductivity was correlated with r = -0.933. The correlation between accelerated ageing and mean germination time was -0.857. Thus, AA test can be potentially used for predicting the storability and evaluating seed vigour in onion seeds.
