Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of the storage longevity period and the type of storage on the characteristics and viability of Acacia senegal (Hashab) seeds, to attain an appropriate method of storage. The experiment was applied at the Regional Tree Seed Centre-Elobied during the year 2016, and seeds were collected from El-Damoukya. The tests were applied (purity, number of seeds/kg, moisture content, germination, viability) before seed and after storage in three different stores (normal, cold and deep), where the tests were conducted after 3, 6, 9, 12 months for each sample. The seeds trees were divided into three groups, and each seed group was stored in the stores. Experiment design by Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates in storages by repeating three samples. The data analyzed by SAS software for ANOVA table, while LSD test used for means separation for the results. The results showed high significant difference (α = 0.0001) in the moisture content of seed in the normal store with high ratio (20%) in the fourth period (12 months), while in the cold stores was (15%). The results showed a decrease in the number of seeds/ kg for the deep store by (9091 seeds) compared to the normal and cold store. The deep and cold stores are suitable for storing seeds for 12 months and the normal store can be considered as unsuitable of which affected directly by surrounding factor and led to an increase in the moisture content of the seeds, resulting in the weight gain of the seeds and the decrease in the number of seeds/kg. This study recommends the use of deep and cold storage of Hashab seed.
