Abstract

An investigation was carried out on maintenance of storage potentiation of a black gram (Vigna mungo L.) seed species by using NaDK. Seeds pre-soaked with the NaDK (500μgml-1) for 4 hours and stored under ambient storage significantly arrested the reduction of percentage germination, protein level as well as activity of total dehydrogenase enzyme of seed kernels. The promising effect of NaDK on seed potentiation of the black gram species under storage is apparent in this investigation.
