Abstract
The seeds of Gaillardia aristata were packed in five different packaging material (cloth bag in desiccator, poly set bin, polyethylene bag - 600 gauze, cloth bag and aluminium foil) for a period of 18 months. The germination was recorded maximum (39.51%) in cold storage followed by ambient conditions (31.62%) and incubator (22.98%). Among the packaging material, the cloth bag maintained the maximum germination (34.29%) and poly set bin the minimum (25.77%) at the end of storage period. After one year of seed storage, highest germination (45.67%) was obtained in desiccator kept in cold store. The seed viability was significantly better in cold store (46.05%) than ambient (35.88%) and incubator (34.57%). The cloth and aluminium foil maintained 41.48 and 39.93% seed viability that is considerably higher than all other packaging. The maximum viability after one year was also recorded in aluminium foil (51.33%) followed by cloth bag under cold storage.
