Abstract

Studies were made to find the influence of hydration treatment with chemicals along with water for preservation of production potentiality and quality of resultant seeds of sunflower hybrid BSH 1 with its parental lines (CMS 234 A x RHA 274). The study revealed that midstorage correction given to five month old seeds with double the volume of seed to solution ratio for 3h. with p-hydroxy benzoic acid @ 10 M concentration improved the seed setting of both parents by 10 per cent and the hybrid seed yield by 14 per cent. The resultant seed quality characters were also positively influenced by this treatment.
