Abstract Therefore, this investigation was established to study the effect of storage methods and seed treatments and their interaction on storage efficacy, germination and seedlings parameters of wheat and faba bean crops during different storage periods (3, 6 and 9 months after harvesting) under the environmental conditions of Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. The experiment was arranged in a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The first factor contained different storage periods of both wheat and faba bean after harvesting time as follows: 3 months. 6 months. 9 months. The second factor included storage methods of seed for both wheat and faba bean as follows: Normal storage. Stored seed in jute bags. Sealing storage. Stored seed in plastic jars. Stored seed in metal packages. The third factor was seed treatment of both wheat and faba bean (fumigation with phosphine) at the beginning of storage as follows: Control treatment (untreated seeds). Treating seed with phosphine at the rate of 3 tablets/m3. Treating seed with phosphine at the rate of 5 tablets/m3. Treating seed with phosphine at the rate of 7 tablets/m3. This study recommended that fumigation wheat and faba bean seeds before storage in metal packages with phosphine at the rate of 5 tablets/m3 under the environmental conditions of the experiment in Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. |
