3 Conclusion
The result concluded that grain amaranthus seeds
treated with Carbendazim and Imidochlorprid at 2 g
kg
1
seed and 100 mg kg
1
seed, respectively and
stored in poly lined aluminum foil pouch kept at
ambient room conditions maintained higher
germination (97%) after six months of seed storage.
