ABSTRACT

Germination of caryopses of Cenchrus glaucus was assessed under storage and germination improvement was noticed up to two months of storage due to the dormant nature of the species, which decreased gradually in the later periods. In storage, the caryopses stored in cloth bag absorbed more moisture which was parallel to the moisture fluctuations of the surrounding storage environment which also affects the storage behaviour of seeds. Halogen mixture treated seeds stored better in polythene bags preserved germination and vigour of seeds.
