Abstract:
The three cultivars viz., NRC 37, JS 20-34 and JS 335 were chosen for the study of effect of artificial ageing on seed quality parameters. The cultivar JS 335 showed significantly higher germination percentage, seedling root length, shoot length, seedling length, seedling fresh weight & dry weight, seed vigour indices and seed viability and low electrical conductivity as compared to other cultivars. Among the aged treatments control group was found significant for all characters as compared to the other ageing treatments. The cultivar JS 335 has retained its germination capacity and vigour after ageing treatment hence, this variety can be effectively utilized for further investigation regarding the storability and longevity of the soybean seeds.
