Description :
Effects of Threshing, drying and storage methods on seed quality of Mothbean were studied. The seeds threshed by
hand had maintained significantly very low mechanical damage to seeds and highe r germination, seedling vigour
and field emergence pe rcentage. Drying of Mothbean seeds at lower temperature (shade) recorded significantly
higher germination, seedling vigour and field eme rgence percentage. The mung seeds stored in polyethylene bags
re corded significantly higher germination, seedling vigour and field eme rgence and lesse r seed invasion by fungal
flora during storage as compared to jute and cloth bags under ambient condition. It was also noted that Altrnaria
sp., Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp., Rhizopus sp., Tricothecium sp. And Penicillium sp. Were the most commonly
occurring fungi irrespective of storage pe riods and storage containers during storage under ambient condition.
