Resumen

Adlai was a nutritious and resilient grain that could serve as a staple food and a source of genetic diversity for sustainable agriculture. However, its seed storage and packaging posed challenges to seed viability, quality, and diversity. This study evaluated the effects of different storage methods and packaging materials on Adlai seed characteristics and provided evidence-based recommendations for farmers, seed banks, and policymakers on how to conserve Adlai seeds effectively. The study was laid in a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments (polythene bags, jute bags, aluminum foil, and Ziplock bags) and replicated twice. The results indicated that packaging materials significantly affected (P<0.05) seed characteristics such as germination rate, moisture content, and seed weight. The study also revealed a significant (P<0.05) interaction between storage method and packaging materials and suggested optimal combinations for maintaining seed quality. For short-term storage, a Ziplock bag was the best packaging material for Adlai seeds. However, further research was needed to examine the long-term impacts of storage and packaging on Adlai seeds, as this study only covered a one-month storage period.
