An experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during kharif 2008, to find out to enhance storability of sweet corn seeds through use of botanicals treatment. The storage studies revealed that seeds treated with sweet flag rhizome powder @ 10 g per kg of seeds had recorded higher germination (87.3 %), dry weight of seedlings (2.01g), vigour index (2864) and less infestation (3.60 %) at the end of 10 months of storage.
