Abstract

Seed storage studies were carried out in Simarouba glauca by keeping in a view of low seed longevity. Seeds were stored in three different containers, and exposed to four different temperatures for six months.  Results found that seed stored in plastic bins at 15oC temperature showed 49.5 % germination after 4 months and declined to 9.5 % germination over a period of six months storage, while seed stored in porous container i.e. earthen pot, recorded 28.0 % germination after six months when stored at 10oC.
