“…Bhatt et al (2022) showed that temperature is a crucial factor in seed deterioration and germination regulation. Storing seeds at room temperature often leads to decreased germination rates, seed deterioration and viability loss, which are natural phenomena during storage (Nasreen et al, 2000). The combination of nutrient supplementation and pelleting methods unequivocally enhanced seed germination under both storage conditions.…”

Background: Seed pelleting, a method involving seed coatings to enlarge seed size, is advantageous for marigold seeds because it improves water utilization efficiency during germination. Furthermore, the incorporation of vital plant nutrients into seeds fosters germination and growth, facilitating accelerated growth and increased yield in marigold plants. Methods: Marigold seeds were pelleted with NH4NO3 at rates of 0.048, 0.096 and 0.192 g, NaH2PO4.H2O at rates of 0.064, 0.128 and 0.256 g and KCl at rates of 0.013, 0.026 and 0.052 g. Growth was determined after incubation in 4 × 6 inch bags for 56 days. Storage longevity was determined after incubation in aluminum foil bags under controlled (15°C, 50% RH) and ambient conditions (27±2°C, 70% RH) for 6 months. Result: Seeds pelleted with NH4NO3, NaH2PO4.H2O and KCl demonstrated superior germination rates and germination speed. NaH2PO4.H2O pelleting led to increased shoot dry weight. The use of 0.256 g NaH2PO4.H2O resulted in the highest germination rate over 6 months. Pelleting with all three nutrients resulted in higher plants, particularly 0.256 g NaH2PO4.H2O, which led to more flowers per plant. Therefore, pelleting seeds with 0.256 g NaH2PO4.H2O is recommended to optimize the quality of marigold seeds.

“…Simple techniques have been adopted to maintain the seed viability in both domesticated and wild sources [14], (Vertucci and Roos 1991). Seed deterioration and loss of viability, is a natural phenomenon occurring during storage [15,16] and inappropriate storage medium such as room temperature storage [17,18] has often resulted in low seed germination. Several factors, including temperature, nature of the seeds, seed moisture content, relative humidity influence the seed longevity during storage [19,20].…”

Tetrapleura tetraptera and Annona muricata are medicinal plant species with a great medicinal values. Despite their usefulness, preservation of their seed from harvest time to the time when they are required for planting has not been given adequate attention. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of storage conditions and duration of storage on seed germination of T. tetraptera and Annona muricata. Fifty (50) seeds each of Tetrapleura tetraptera and Annona muricata were planted in top soil to determine their germination percentages before subjected to storage conditions, while Tetrapleura tetraptera has 94% germination, Annona muricata has 72% germination. Four storage conditions viz: cold room, refrigerator, room air conditioned and laboratory were used and the experiment was carried out in Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti. Seeds stored at different temperatures were collected and planted in polythene nylons filled with top-soil and watered daily, the experiments were replicated four times to test for the germinability on monthly basis for six months. In Tetrapleura tetraptera, highest percentage germination (50%) was recorded in seeds stored in the air conditioned room at 1 month. This was followed by seeds store in the refrigerator with 47% at 2 month. Seeds stored in the room air conditioned had percentage germination of 39% at 2 months, 30.50% at 3 months and 10.70% at 4 month of the experiment. No further germination in seeds under this treatment was observed at the last two months of the experiment. While seeds stored in refrigerator recorded 5.20% at 1 months of the experiment. Seeds stored in cold room and those in laboratory recorded no emergence throughout the period of the experiment. Also in Annona muricata, Highest percentage germination (58.00%) was observed in seeds stored in the room air conditioned at 1 month of the experiment, this was followed by the seeds in this same temperature at two month of the experiment with mean plumule emergence value of 39.00%, seeds under this temperature (air condition) did not respond to germination at 5th and 6th months of the experiment. Seeds of Annona muricata stored in the cold room responded to germination with unappreciable value of 2.05% only at third month of the experiment. Only 1.6% of the seeds stored in the laboratory emerged at 5th month of experimental time, seeds stored in the refrigerator did not respond for the first two months, last fifth and sixth month of the experiment but had 15.53% and 35.00% plumule emergence at third and fourth month of the experiment respectively. Thus, storage of seeds of T. tetraptera and A. muricata in air conditioned room with temperature of -200C might enhance germination in these species.

“…Experiments have shown that there are thresholds for the beneficial effects of drying, where below a critical level of seeds MC will not improve longevity [38] and may even have a detrimental effect on survival during processing and storage [39,40]. Reducing MC to certain thresholds increases longevity in a predictable way in approximately 90% of species [41], that is, favorable conditions and inadequate storage systems [42][43][44] such as high temperature and humidity can not only can affect yield and seed quality but also reduce vigor and SS capacity [45][46][47][48], loss of viability [49], and seed deterioration during storage characterized by a progressive loss of viability, vigor, and even death [50] causing considerable losses [42].…”

The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of relative humidity (RH) and moisture content (MC) on the incidence of pathogenic fungi on the seeds of Agave lechuguilla, Lippia graveolens, and Nolina cespitifera. Seeds were stored 90 days at 60, 75, 80, and 85% RH, and results were processed with a correlation analysis in the R software using the Spearman test. Higher fungi incidence (FI) in seeds was found from 10 to 20% RH; however, correlation between RH and MC of seeds was positive with r = 0.311 and p = 2.2 × 10 − 16 . In general, RH is related to MC, but not to fungi incidence, which is related mainly to MC of seeds. Correlation between RH and FI for each seed species was not significant, r = 0.026, −0.040, and 0.071 and p = 0.687 , 0.540, and 0.272 for A. lechuguilla, N. cespitifera, and L. graveolens, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the MC of seeds with fungi incidence; a negative correlation between the RH and the FI; and a positive correlation between the RH and the MC of seeds. In this type of seeds (orthodox), the MC is probably the most important factor in determining its longevity. The seeds under study can be stored in a 60% to 75% RH. Five fungi genera were found, predominating Aspergillus with five identified species.
