**4. Seeds longevity and storage**

Seeds even if adequately protected while storage the chances are more to undergo deterioration with time, major factors affecting the longevity (life span) of mature, variable and healthy seeds are moisture, storage, temperature and pests. Seeds are of different species require different storage conditions, some seeds with the hard court can be stored at room temperature for several years (42°F to 5.6°C), the actual storage is depending upon the viability and moisture content of the seeds when initially placed in storage, the specific Variety and condition of the storage is an environment, hence keeping seeds in a glass jar with a sealed container including desiccant in the jar, whereas the germination and viability will decline with age of seeds, viability is the ability to produce a vigorous seedling. Hence viability decline before germination, so old seeds gives weak seedlings but germinate, some standard tables are given for the perusal of the readers which are mentioned in the article johnny selected seeds (**Figures 3** and **4**) **Table 1** [4].
