The experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at the vegetable Research Field of Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The observations were recorded on various growth, yield and quality contributing characters. The results from the present investigation revealed that on the basis of mean performance of eighteen hybrids of Chilli, hybrids 20CHIHYB4 (50.03 q/ha) and 21CHIHYB3 (49.47 q/ha) were found superior in terms of Fruit yield (q/ha). On the basis of Analysis of variance significant difference was recorded for all the quantitative and qualitative traits indicating presence of large amount of variability in the hybrids. The maximum gross return, net return and Benefit cost ratio Rs. 101260.00, Rs. 41260.00 and 1.6 respectively were recorded in hybrid 20CHIHYB4.

“…In certain situations, seed growers distribute outdated seeds to farmers, who then store the expired seeds for their own use. As a result, seed invigoration via seed treatment is an important strategy for improving seed performance, resulting in a faster germination rate and a higher percentage of germinated seeds [2].…”

Chili seeds mostly have been stored for a long period; therefore, the seed quality may be affected. Prior to planting, reinvigoration by priming treatments becomes an important treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how priming affected seed germination, vegetative performance, flowering, and proline content in chili cv. "Inata Agrihorti" under water stress treatment. The research was carried out in the Physiology Laboratory and Shade House in Batu East Java, Indonesia from December 2022 to March 2023, A factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications was set up in this study that consisted of two factors. First factor was stored seeds (2 and 5 years) duration of chili cv. Inata Agrihorti, and the second factor was priming treatments (Phenol Ethyl Glycol 6000, Gibberellic acids, Phenol Ethyl Glycol 6000 + Gibberellic acids, and distilled water as a control). The reinvigoration of stored seeds by priming treatments significantly improved germination percentage, germination time, root length, and proline content of early seedlings’ stages either under water stress or distilled water treatment as a control. The interaction of priming treatment and stored seeds was also recorded in improving the vegetative performance, flower number, and proline content of chili plants derived from reinvigorated seeds under water stress or normal watering treatment. Under water stress and/or normal conditions, primed seeds of 2-year-old stored seeds produced larger values of these variables than primed seeds of 5-year-old stored seeds. To improve yield, seed invigoration of stored seeds of chili cv Inata Agrihort through - 1.5 MPa Phenol Ethyl Glycol 6000 treatment was recommended.

“…Plant species differs physiologically so their uptake of nanoparticles and the effects of different concentration of nanoparticle on them may differs from plant to plant. Researchers have found that nanoparticle seed treatment could improve the seedling character (Singh et al, 2012), induce growth and development of plants (Khater, 2014), increase the yield potential (Mathew et al, 2021) and improve the storage life of seeds (Das and Dutta. 2022).…”

TiO2 nanoparticles are highly stable, eco-friendly in nature, having low cost, act as a photo catalyst also having antimicrobial properties. Considering the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on seeds, a study was conducted during March 2022 to June 2022 at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). In this study onion seeds of variety Nasik Red N-53 were collected to investigate the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the seedling characters as well as on the biochemical characters under storage in ambient conditions. Onion seeds were treated with different concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140 ppm) along with control and stored in two containers; viz. tin container (C1) and aluminum foil pouch (C2). All the seedling parameters were evaluated every month during storage. The experiment was conducted in factorial CRD with 4 replications. The experimental result showed that the storage containers influenced the seedling characters of onion. Seeds stored in aluminum foil pouch (C2) exhibited highest germination per cent (52.93 %), speed of germination (3.76), root length (2.27 cm), shoot length (4.11 cm), seedling length (6.38 cm), fresh weight (0.176 gm), dry weight (0.0205 gm), seed density (1.025 gm/cm3), dehydrogenase activity (0.213 OD/g mL), catalase activity (0.0220 nmol/min/mg protein) and exhibited lowest moisture per cent (8.05 %) and lowest electrical conductivity (0.970 dS/m) as compared to tin container at the end of 3 months of storage. Seed treated with TiO2 nanoparticles @40ppm (T4) for 2 hours performed better in terms of seedling parameters; viz. germination per cent (58.5 %), speed of germination (4.20), root length (3.06 cm), shoot length (4.58 cm), seedling length (7.64 cm), fresh weight (0.222 gm), dry weight (0.0259 gm), seed density (1.056 gm/cm3), dehydrogenase activity (0.337 OD/g mL), catalase activity (0.0375 nmol/min/mg protein) and recorded lowest moisture per cent (8.04 %) and lowest electrical conductivity (0.951 dS/m) as compared to control after 3 months of storage. The study concluded that seed treated with TiO2 @40 ppm and stored in aluminum foil pouch can be used to expand the storability of onion seeds under ambient condition.
