RESULT AND DISCUSSION Seed germination depends on various factors, including storage
condition, temperature, humidity, type of soil, seed size, dormancy,
etc. (Benvenuti, 2007). In this study, Storage significantly influ-
enced germination of wheat seed. The highest germination (99.5%)
was recorded in warehouse seed storage treated, Kando seed storage
treated (98%), plastic grain bag storage (89.5%), respectively. The
findings of this study the best and most suitable storage system for
Parwan wheat seed germination is warehouse storage condition. Re-
ported that no significant germination occurred at plastic grain bag
storage system. Total germination percentage during day interval for
warehouse storage seeds was significantly higher than that for Kando
and plastic grain bag storage seeds (table 1).

Germination data for wheat seeds which kept in different storage conditions. The seeds were sowed in petri dishes with two layer of Watman filter paper No1. The seed germination were recorded after 3 days. Date: During 20.Nov.2020 to 28.Nov.2020 Days since start Treatments Total seed in treatment # seeds germinated during time interval % Germination during time interval (per day) Cumulative percent germination 3d
