ABSTRACT :
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 1992 in Dharwad, Karnataka, India, and a storage experiment was conducted during the winter-summer season 1992-93, to determine the effect of preharvest fungicidal spray and postharvest seed treatments on germination, germination rate index, vigour index and electrical conductivity of seed leachate of soyabean seeds. Preharvest fungicide (carbendazim (as Bavistin) 1.0 g/litre, mancozeb 2.0 g/litre) sprays applied 10 and 5 d before harvest of the crop and postharvest seed treatment with malathion 5% dust at 2 g/kg; captan + thiram each at 1.5 g/kg; malathion at 2 g/kg + captan + thiram at 1.5 g/kg improved germination count, germination rate and vigour index besides reducing EC of seed leachate compared with the control.
