 ABSTRACT

The present investigation entitled “Studies on Seed Quality Enhancement and Storability in Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)” was carried out in the Laboratory of Department of Seed Science and Technology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar on cultivar Hiasr Swarup (HF 33) of fennel to ascertain the influence of seed pelleting on seed quality during 2017. The present research was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and consisting of 7 pelleting treatments with three replications. Fennel seeds responded well to different pelleting treatments. The physiological parameters (standard germination, speed of emergence, seedling length, seedling dry weight and vigour indices) increased on pelleting with Captan (3 g/kg) + Imidacloprid followed by neem leaf powder (100 g/kg seeds), whereas, electrical conductivity was recorded minimum in above pelleting treatments
