Radish (Raphanus satlvus L.) Is an Important root crop extensively grown throughout the year in the country. The shortage of quality seeds In desired quantity at the sowing time Is one of the major bottleneck in the progressive cultivation. Preservation of quality seed stocks Is as Important as its production. Here an attempt was made for long term storage of radish seed to select out the suitable packaging material and seed moisture content as It reduces the burden of quality seed production every year and simultaneously left out seeds can be stored safely having appropriate germination and vigour.
