Abstract

Pigeonpea cv. ICP-1, -26, -2624, -6443 and -6997 were stored at 15-20 deg C and RH and compared with ambient room conditions at ICRISAT. After 4 yr in cool storage the viability of all cv. except ICP-6997 remained >92%. At room temp. ICP-6997 lost viability completely, ICP-2624 maintained 53% viability and ICP-26, -1 and -6443 germinated 44, 24 and 4%, resp. Plastic bottles were the best containers at ambient room temp. and in cool storage no difference was detected between them and paper and cloth bags.
