Abstract
Studies were made to evolve a fruit storage technique for seed purpose in Tamarind. The fruits with seeds and the seeds extracted from fruits were taken for ambient storage in cloth bag at Coimbatore. At trimonthly intervals, evaluations were made for the seed quality characters, viz., germination, moisture content, root length, shoot length, dry matter production, vigour index and insect infestation percentage. The results expressed that due to higher insect infestation the seeds of fruit storage recorded nil germination after 9 months of storage, while the seeds (nonscarified) stored as such recorded more than 99 per cent germination after 12 months of storage.
