The experiment was conducted during the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 and the maximum weight loss per cent in corms was recorded at 90 days of storage i.e. 30.80 to 31.59 per cent and zero per cent rotting was noticed under almost all the pre planting treatments. Generally all tubers sprouted within 60 days of storage and a negligible increase at 90 days of storage.

Abstract


The experiment was conducted during the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 and the maximum weight loss per cent in corms was recorded at 90 days of storage i.e. 30.80 to 31.59 per cent and zero per cent rotting was noticed under almost all the pre planting treatments. Generally all tubers sprouted within 60 days of storage and a negligible increase at 90 days of storage.
