Abstract
Laboratory experiments and tests were conducted to study the effect of treating seeds of peanut varieties (Giza 6 and Giza 5) with Moringa leaf extract and Vitavax fungicide before storage in different packing materials (cloth, polypropylene and aluminum foil bags) for 0 (control), 6, 12 and 18 months from seed treatments, on seed germination, seed vigor, seedling vigor traits (seedling length and seedling fresh and dry weights) and fungi infection. The main results could be summarized as follows: there were significant differences between peanut varieties (Giza 6 and Giza 5) seeds in seed germination, seed vigor, seedling vigor and fungi infection (%) where Giza 6 variety surpassed Giza 5 variety after the different storage periods. Seed treatments significantly affected seed quality traits as measured by germination (%), good seedlings, tetrazolium potential, electrical conductivity, germination index, oil (%) and fungi infection (%). Fungicide Vitavax seed treatment protect seed and alleviated fungi infection (%) after the different storage periods followed by Moringa extract comparing with untreated seed. Type of seed packing materials, significantly affected seed germination, seed vigor, seedling vigor and fungi infection (%) where packed seed in polypropylene surpassed aluminum and cloth bags. from the previous results, it could be concluded that treating seed of peanut Giza 6 variety before storage with Vitavax fungicide and storage in polypropylene bags gave high seed quality and alleviated fungi infection during storage periods.
