RELATIVE VIABILITY AND VIGOUR OF DIFFERENT GENOTYPES OF SOYBEAN (Glycine max (L.) Merril) DURING STORAGE

Abstract

                                Seed viability and vigour studies with the twenty seven genotypes of soybean brought out the genotypic differences for germination potential, root and shoot length and dry matter production of the seedlings in storage. Large seeds retained by 15/64" (aperture width 6.00 mm) sieve maintained the viability and vigour during eight months storage period with minimum loss compared to medium and small seeds retained by 14/64" (aperture width 5.60 mm) and 13/64" (aperture width 5.20 mm) sieves.
