Abstract

Abstract1
Predicting seed viability would be extremely beneficial to seed producers and the prediction of seed viability depends on understanding the quantitative relationships between seed longevity, seed moisture content and storage temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the seed quality of plantago ovata seed under various seed moisture content, temperature and storage time and quantify this effect and determine the coefficients of life. Seeds with various moisture contents (5, 9, 13, 17%) were kept under four temperatures (5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C) for six months. Analysis of variance indicated significant difference for all main and interaction effects. High temperature along with higher moisture content resulted in more deterioration in seeds. coefficients of life after six months of storage using the equation viability was Calculated. estimates of KE = 6, CW = 3, CH = 0.06, CQ = 0.000023 were derived for prediction of storage length. end
