ABSTRACT
Improper storage of oilseeds makes them susceptible to storage fungi, which causes qualitative and quantitative
deterioration of the stored oilseeds. These fungi induce numerous biochemical changes affecting the viability of the seeds. In
light of this, experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of artificial infestation of storage fungi in various storage
conditions on the vigour index, germination percentage, and levels of reducing sugar.
KEY WORDS : Groundnut, Seed quality, Storage methods..
