abstract: In order to maintain viability and superior seed quality it is essential
that seeds be stored in properly conditioned and safe storage facilities after
drying to required mositure content. In case of germplasm and breeders' seed
in an experiment station, it becomes all the more essential that seed drying
and storage be carried out with utmost care since the seed involved is valuable
and if lost cannot be reproduced. The moisture content of seed at harvest is
too high to permit safe storage. The seed, therefore, has to be dried to safer
levels of moisture for storing. Similarly material from yield trials is required
to be brought to a uniform level of moisture for comparative analysis. In
addition to seed, there are a number of plant samples that the researchers need
to dry for analysis.
