An experiment was conducted at AICRP on Soybean, ZARS, University of University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru during 2015-16. The main objective is to study the effect of storage packages (Tin, polythene bag 700 gauge and cloth bag) on seed quality on vegetable soybean var. Karune. Seeds were stored in room temperature for nine months. The observation were recorded at trimonthly interval on seed quality parameter and the result indicated that higher seed germination (73.11%) were noticed seed stored in tin fallowed by seeds stored in polythene bag (P2), seed germination (71.78%) stored in polythene bag and lower seed quality was noticed in cloth bag (P3) (germination (68.30 %) at the end of the storage period. Hence, the study indicated that, vegetable soybean variety Karune seed could be treated with bavisitin @ 3g per kg of seed and stored in tin container without affecting seed germination up to nine months.
