Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was aimed t o determine the effect of sulphur and Bradyrhizobnum fertilizerl seed at different initial moisture content or seed and storage container on the vigour index of groundnut seed. Results revealed that the vigour index increased with the doses or sulphur up to 60 kg S/ha in storage but the seed obtained from inoculation failed to check the deterioration . Seed obtained from 60 kg S ha stored in polythene bags retained the vigour index up to the standard level. Least initial moisture content of seed (7.25'%) produced from the above doses or fertilizer elements also played a vital role in keeping the quality or stored seed. Results or vigour index indicated that groundnut seed obtained from sulphur and Bradvrhizobium fertilization during production and stored in polythene bags can retain better seed quality, provided that the seed were dried to a safe moisture level of 7.25%.

Location: Department of Agronomy

Start Date: 20-10-2005

End Date: 15-03-2006

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer

Objectives:

To find out the performance or sulphur and Bradyrizobium fertilization , initial moisture content of seed and storage container on the vigour index of groundnut seed.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the field and laboratory of Oil Seed Division , Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur and was set coming the treatment following the principles on Complete Randomized Design with three replications and the data was analysed through a statistical computer programmed M STAT-C. Vigour index was measured using the formula or Maguire (1962)
