Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the laboratory condition of Agronomy department
of Slier-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka during the period from April
to November 2013. The experiment comprised of' two thctors viz. hictor A: storage
containers (3 containers) like Tin container. Earthen pot and Plastic pot; and Factor
wheat varieties (3 varieties) of which were BARI Gom 21 (Shatabdi), BARI Gom 25.
BARI Gom 26. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design
(CR1)) with four replications. The result revealed that tin container showed the
highest germination percentage. shoot length, root length, fresh weight and dry \veight
of seedlings and lowest 1000 seed weight, moisture percentage, days to germination
and electrical conductivity of' seeds at 180. 210 and 240 1)AS (days aller storage).
Lowest quality performance was observed from earthen pot. For wheat varieties.
BARI Gom 26 showed the highest quality performance in respect of the highest
germination percentage. shoot and root length, seedling fresh weight and dry weight.
'l'his variety also showed lowest electrical conductivity and days to germination. Due
to interaction cl'Rct of different storage containers and varieties, the highest
germination (97.79%, 96.37% and 94.93%. at 18021() and 240 1)AS respectively) and
maximum seedling shoot length. root length, fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings
was observed from BARI Gom 26 stored in 'liii container and the lowest result was
found from earthen pot with BARI Gom-26.
