Abstract

                                The monthly sowing studies carried out with mungbean cultivar CO 3 for one year (January to December) under coimbatore conditions had brought out the need for sowing the seed crops during the summer months namely, from February to April for getting higher seed yield associated with larger recovery of quality seeds. The hard seed percentage however was more in the produce of the resulting crop. On the other hand, seed crops raised during May to December resulted in low seed yield combined with larger percentage of off-colour seeds which on the seed quality point of view needs to be eliminated.
