STUDIES ON CERTAIN ASPECTS OF SEED PROCESSING OF BAJRA HYBRID SEED

Abstract

Threshing the earheads of KM 2 bajra hybrid at 10, 15, 20 and 25 + 0.5 per cent seed moisture levels in a mechanical thresher resulted in significant differences in the extent of mechanical damage to the seeds. Seeds extracted at 15 or 20+ 0.5 per cent moisture recorded the least damage, higher germination and more seedling vigour than those at 10 or 25 +0.5 per cent.
