On farm trials were conducted during kuruvai 1992-95 season in 20 divisions of Thanjavur, Thiruvarur and Nagapattinum districts. From the results it could be concluded that irrespective of locations, the crop raised from the improved seed source recorded higher seed yield and seed quality values compared to farmer's own saved seeds.
