This may because of some pathogenic attack or by adverse environmental conditions. Retention of vigour and viability of seeds in tropical and subtropical countries like India is a matter of serious concern to the crop growers because of high temperature and high relative humidity (RH) prevailing in major parts of the country almost throughout the year. The present study is to find out the effective method to enhance the storage life of crop seed species having viability problems. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
