SEED QUALITY TRAITS

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high temperature on seed quality and peroxidase activity. High temperature stress was imposed on four brinjal genotypes at three levels (25 °C, 35 °C and 40 °C). Seeds were allowed to germinate on Petri-plates using two layers of filter paper i[r]

The overall performance of genotypes under study judged on the basis of results obtained indicated that there was a decline in seed quality parameters with increased duration of storage. Many genotypes displayed a huge difference among the studied para[r]

This study aims at investigating various chemical treatments and storage materials that could ensure good quality of seeds of soybean crop.

The present investigation was carried out on fennel seeds of fifteen genotypes viz., HF 33, HF 101, HF 102, HF 103, HF 104, HF 105, HF 106, HF 107, HF 108, HF 109, HF 114, HF 115, HF 118, HF 122 and HF 124 with three lots of seed viz., freshly harvested seed (Lot-1), one year old seed (Lot-2) and tw[r]

High temperature and high relative humidity cause severe and rapid deterioration of viability and vigour of groundnut seeds. The environmental conditions that exist during the growth period and harvesting time affects the seed quality and storability. Thus, the environment / provenance plays a major[r]

An experiment was conducted at Seed Quality Research Laboratory of National Seed Project, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2016-2017 to evaluate the effect of packaging materials and forms on storability of groundnut Cv. G2-52.The groundnut is stored both in the form of pods and k[r]

Seed processing is the most important component of quality seed production in achieving the prescribed physical seed standards wherein seed grading is the vital practice for better crop establishment and also useful in separation of quality seed in a seed lot. In this context, the present study on t[r]

This paper the present investigation was envisaged to evaluate the source variation in different catkin and seed traits of Salix alba.

In the present investigation rice genotype HUR-105 was selected to see the effect of seed priming on yield attributes and grain quality of rice. Priming of seeds has been done with distilled water (hydro), Mg(NO3)2 salt (halo) and kinetin (T3), salicylic acid (hormonal) and different parameters, suc[r]

Population of India is increasing rapidly and consequently edible oil demand is also going up day-by-day. Hence, it has become necessary to increase the production by developing superior varieties/hybrids. Heterosis breeding is an alternative tool which helps in[r]

Santalum album L. occupies a prime position in Indian forestry and has been rated as the most precious and valuable tree. For successful cultivation and conservation of Sandal plants a detailed knowledge of their reproductive biology is required. The observations were undertaken during flowering sea[r]

Genetic parameters like variability, heritability and genetic advance were studied in a set of 60 genotypes of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) during Kharif, 2013 and 2014 in North Coastal Zone of Andhra Pradesh at Agricultural Research Station, Ragolu, Srikakulam district for seed yield and its co[r]

An experiment was carried out to see the effect of plant growth regulators on yield and quality of guava cv. Allahabad safeda. Low production and poor quality of fruits are major constraints in guava production in Assam. The results showed significance difference among the treatments. The maximum yi[r]

Jackfruit is seasonal and possesses 100-400 seeds. Impact of processing on storage and microbial quality of jackfruit seed flour was investigated. Hard variety of jackfruits was procured from UAS, Dharwad campus. Seeds separated, processed employing: boiling, pressure cooking, pan roasting, microwav[r]

The present experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications in summer season 2016-17 at the Main Experiment Station of the Department of Vegetable Science, NDUA&T, Kumarganj, Faizabad. Total 22 genotypes were taken for study including two checks. Observations were recorde[r]

The aim of this investigation was to measure the variability of seed traits. Field survey was carried out across the population of Aquilaria malaccensis throughout Mizoram, Nagaland, Assam, West Bengal and Tripura to select well represented nineteen seed sources viz.

au-delà de cet âge. MOE passe de 2.5 GPa près de la moelle à environ 20 GPa à 11–15 ans. Il se stabilise ensuite. L’évolution de la densité du bois et deMOE au cours du temps est donc inverse de celle de MFA. L’héritabilité, égale à 0 près du cœur, augmente ensuite et se stabilise vers 4–5 ans pour[r]
