Abstract

Seeds reach physiological maturity several days and often several weeks before their actual harvest. Then another lengthy period involving threshing, cleaning and transportation may elapse before proper storage. Seed quality loss at both pre- and post- havest stages may be high if seeds remain exposed to high humidity in association with elevated temperatures. And if these conditions prevail, seed deterioration continues throughout storage till a seed mass with very low planting value is left for sowing
