Abstract
Prediction of seed storability in neem (Azadirachta indica) and jamun (Syzygium cuminii) through accelerated ageing test. Seeds of neem (Azadirachta indica) and jamun (Syzygium cuminii) were subjected to accelarated ageing conditions of high temperature (41 plus minus 0.5 degree celcius) and relative humidity (100 per cent) to assess their storability. Seed samples drawn at 24-h intervals were tested for germination and seedling vigour in terms of root and shoot lengths vigour index and dry weight. The reduction in germination below 50 per cent occured earlier in jamun (4th day of ageing) than in neem (6th day). However seedling vigour deteriorated much quicker in neem than in jamun. Therefore it is concluded that seeds of both these species should be sown in the nursery immediately after collection.
