Abstract: Tef is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia which is known for its long grain storage period. However, the longevity of the seed and the seed deterioration dynamics is not well investigated so far. Therefore, set of experiments were conducted to assess the effects of seed storage period on seed quality and the various vigor indices of the crop using six improved tef varieties viz., DZ-Cr-387 RIL 355, DZ-01-974, DZ-01-196, DZ-Cr-37, DZ-01-354 and DZ-01-99 and of the crop s seeds were stored for 7, 19 and 31 months. The treatments were arranged in factorial combinations tested using completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications.
