Accelerated ageing for prediction of storability in onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds

A laboratory experiment was conducted to predict the storability by accelerated ageing in onion in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, during 2018- 19. The experiment consisted of fifteen seed lots with varied levels of germination and it was laid out in CRD design with four replications. All seed lots were subjected to: standard germination test, electrical conductivity test, radicle emergence test, accelerated ageing test and field emergence test.
