Summary

The effects of new equipment for modifying the atmosphere for seed storage on edible bean seed quality were investigated. The bean seed moisture content, germination, vigour, and insect infestation were kept constant during the whole storage period when seeds were maintained in a cold chamber at 5 °C. However, these characteristics changed when seeds were stored at ambient temperature using the modified atmosphere equipment without protection or aluminium foil wrapping.
