“…Hosang et al (2012) also reported that rate of germination varies with storage techniques used and in all treatments tested germination rates declines over time. Tekrony et al (2005) also reported 50-80% germination decline in maize stored in uncontrolled warehouse after eight months of storage. The low rate of germination in treated grains might be attributed to the high level of insect damage in storage, the original grain condition and variation in the rate of germination at the beginning of the experiment.…”

A study was conducted for 12 months to evaluate the effectiveness of two improved hermetic storage structures against two maize storage pests Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus at Liwufu Research Station, Malawi. The storages were metal silo and hermetic bag; Actellic super dust was included as a control. The treatments (storages) were replicated four times under natural and artificial infestations. Grain stored in metal silo had the lowest mean percentage weight loss, 1.04% to 1.25%, 12 months after storage followed by hermetic bag, 2.46% to 6.64%. Grain treated with Actellic super had the highest weight loss, 4.86% to 18.72%. The study showed that hermetic storage structures can be promoted as effective alternative non-chemical methods of grain storage for small holder farmers in Malawi.

“…Although we have not found any references to the CD test for barley seeds, the applications of this test to other grain crops were reported, e.g. wheat (MODARRESI & VAN DAMME 2003) and maize (TEKRONY et al 2005).…”

Abstract:The study was aimed at determining potential differences in seed quality of spring and winter barley in relation to varieties (four winter and two spring barley varieties) and growing conditions (six locations, two years). Three tests were performed on each seed sample, i.e. (1) the standard germination test; (2) the low temperature and drought stress germination test and (3) the germination test in a salt solution. The effects of the factors of variety, provenance and year on seed vigour were estimated by the analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test. The germination of winter varieties was influenced by provenance, both measures of vigour (2 and 3) by year, and significant differences between varieties were found in all three traits. Spring varieties differed only in germination and vigour (3) in one year when the influence of provenance prevailed. The results show different effects of variety and provenance on seed vigour. This could be promising for the breeding of high vigour barley varieties. Some preliminary results were obtained by using controlled deterioration (CD) as a vigour testing method for barley. The suitable conditions seem to be the combination of 45°C and 24% moisture content for the period of 24 hours.

“…While seed viability is responsible for germination, seed vigor influences the rate of germination and seedling establishment. Uniform seedling emergence and their vigorous establishment can ensure good plant population and final yield (Copeland and McDonald, 2001;Tekrony et al, 2005;Shirin et al, 2008). This is important because it influences field emergence, seedling establishment and subsequent performance of the resulting plant (MorenoMartinez et al, 1998;Abbasian et al, 2013).…”

“…Hunter and Kannerberg (1972) found no difference in the germination percentage of maize in relation to seed size and shape. Recently, Tekrony et al (2005) reported that germination rate and vigor indices were lower in round than flat seeds.…”
