Rapeseed and mustard are integral to India's oilseed economy. This study investigates the seed deterioration pattern of yellow sarson (Brassica rapa var. yellow sarson L.) in Gangetic West Bengal condition. Seeds of the Anushka variety were cleaned, dried, and stored in six containers viz. desiccator (S1), polythene packet (S2), paper packet (S3), earthen pot (S4), 700-gauge polyethene packet (S5), and cloth bags (S6) for eight months. Various seed quality parameters were assessed following ISTA guidelines, and the results indicate significant variations in germination, seedling dry weight, moisture content, and vigour. Storage in 700-gauge polyethylene packets and desiccators resulted in minimal deterioration, while cloth bags showed the highest decline, with germination falling below prescribed standards. The study provides valuable insights into the need for attention to storage conditions, especially considering the region’s high humidity and temperature between harvesting and subsequent.
