A study was carried out to assess the influence of seed size relative to imbibit- ion, radicle emergence and speed of emergence, in groundnut cv POL 1 and TMV 2. The study revealed that the imbibition rate increased with increase in duration of soaking Irrespective of seed size. However, imbibition rate and speed of radicle emergence showed a negative correlation with seed size in laboratory study alone, In field emergence test, the graded seeds gave significantly higher percentage of ger- mination than the ungraded seeds and were on par. The speed of field emergence decreased with increase in seed size in both the varieties.
