Abstract

Coriander seed (Coriandrum sativum L.) has essential oil, lipid and protein, and the lack attention to seed storage condition causes physical and physiological damage and ultimately decreasesits quality and deterioration so a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design was carried out and six levels of time storage (30, 60, 90,120,150 and 180 days), five level of seed moisture (5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 %) and four level of temperature (10,15,20 and 25 oc ) were studied. The results showed that the moisture content of 13% had severe harmful effects on seed germination at different temperatures compared to other humidity. In 5% moisture, an increase in temperature from 10 to 25 oc had no significant effect on germination indices especially seed germination percent and it was above 90 in all temperatures. The results of different seed packaging material showed that between aluminum, fabric, paper and cellophane, aluminum has less impact on the germination indices. The conclustion that can storage coriander seeds in the moisture content of 5% and aluminum packaging at temperature bellow 25 for long-term without a significant reduction in its maintenance.
