Gaertn., intermediate wheatgrass, A. intermedium (Host.) Beauv., and smooth bromegrass, Bromus inermis Leyss., were stored for 20 yr under various conditions. Temperature was a major factor affecting success with viability inversely related to storage temperature. At -7 and - l8'C, viabilities of 80-9070 were shown after 2O yr storage. Drying seed for 7.5 h at 60"C prior to storage gave little improvement over undried seed stored with 87o moisture. Plastic bags gave storage as good as glass jars with screw-top lids, although plastic bags were less effective in excluding moisture. It was concluded that adequate germination for reproduction of strains could be obtained after 25-30 yr of storage.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAgriculturePlant sciencesStorageGrassSeedsArticleA1983RD74500012669674633AgronomyPlant sciences
