“…The result of this experiment is in line with the results found by Ali et al [10] who showed that PE plastic can be used for seed storage. Agha et al [11] stated that effective storage packaging is a packaging which able to suppress the effects of surrounding air on the stored seeds, hence double PE plastic bags is a better packaging method than the utilization of single PE plastic bag to store oil palm seeds.…”

Seed deterioration is an inexorable process, including on oil palm (Elaeis guineensis L. Jacq) seeds which are categorized as intermediate seed type. Seed deterioration rate can be predicted through physical, biochemical, and physiological parameters. This experiment aimed to study physical, biochemical, and physiological changes in oil palm seeds in short-term storage. The experiment was conducted in a 2-factors of nested design. The first factor was storage temperature: open storage (24.2 − 30.5°C; RH 48.6 − 82%) and controlled storage (22.0 − 27.7°C; RH 43.9 − 82.1%). The second factor was storage packaging: single polyethylene (PE) plastic and double PE plastic, which was nested to the first factor. Oil palm seeds of Dura (D) x Pisifera (P) variety DxP PPKS 540 were obtained from the Marihat Business Unit of IOPRI. Results showed that during 6 months of storage, the seed moisture content (SMC) decreased in all treatments, even though the final SMC (11.2-11.4%) was still at a safe level for oil palm seed storage. Significant changes on fatty acid compositions of the oil palm endosperm were not found. Seeds could be stored for 3 months under controlled storage without a significant reduction in the germination percentage compared to those of fresh seeds, while open storage significantly reduced germination 2 months after storage. Germination percentage was not correlated with fatty acid content in the endosperm. The highest germination speed index was detected 2 months after storage in both storage conditions.

An experiment was carried out at Institute of Research and Training (IRT) of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during March to May 2016 for evaluating the effect of initial moisture content and different storage container on the quality of mustard seed. Three types of containers namely plastic container, polythene bag and gunny bag, and three levels moisture content i.e. 9.75, 12.25 and 14.30% were used as the treatment. Mustard seeds with 9.75% initial moisture level were found in good condition in respect of germination, less number of abnormal and dead seedlings, better shoot and root length, vigour index and poor fungal incidence. The highest germination percentage was observed 80.14−87.74%, while the lowest percent of abnormal seedling (8.64−12.04%) and dead seedling (3.33−8.27%) was found in the seeds stored with 9.75% initial moisture content at different storage periods. Fungal incidence was also found less in the seeds stored with 9.75% initial moisture content. Among three storage conditions, plastic container was showed the advantage for mustard seed storage compared to polythene bag and gunny bag. The seed of gunny bag was found inferior in quality for all parameters at all storage period. So, the results revealed that optimum moisture content and ideal storage condition has the greatest benefit on quality seeds. It is concluded that plastic container with 9.75% initial moisture content is the best for storing the mustard seed with higher quality.
