Abstract

                                An experiment was carried out to understand the pattern of various growth events occurring during Iruit development in Vigna radiata L. wilzcek. At first, the pod rapidly increased in length and then gradually enlarged in width, Frosh weigh of pod increased up to tenth day from anthesis and then declined towards maturity. Fresh weight of seeds increased till seventeenth day from anthesis and started declining. Dry weight of pod as well as seeds increased in a sigmoidal pattern. Pod and seec moisture content decreased from anthesis to maturity. Altogether the flowers in green- gram took 30 days to become mature pods.
