 ABSTRACT

The present storage experiment was conducted at Department of Genetic and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Uttar Pradesh during 2017 - 2018 with chilli seeds (Cv. Kashi Anmol). The seeds were treated  with different micronutrients  and maintained untreated seeds (control) where T0 is control, T1 Iron sulphate @ 0.1%, T2 Iron sulphate @ 0.5%, and T3 Iron sulphate @ 1.0%,T4 Copper sulphate @ 0.1%, T5 Copper sulphate @ 0.5%, and T6 Copper sulphate @ 1.0%, T7 Zinc sulphate @ 0.1%, T7 Zinc sulphate @ 0.5%, and T7 Zinc sulphate @ 1.0%.Treated seeds were packed in polythene bag (700 gauge) and Paper bag (Factor P1 and P2) for the assessment of seed germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour indices, where data was subjected to factorial experiment laid out in Randomized block design. P1T2 recorded significantly higher seedling parameters (Root length, Shoot length, Seedling length, Seedling dry weight, Vigour index I, Vigour index II) except P1T9 recorded significantly higher seed germination.

Key words: Chilli, Iron sulphate, Copper sulphate, Zinc sulphate, Polythene bag, Paper bag.
