Abstract

                                Pod and seed development and maturation studies to fix the harvestable maturity showed that the developing seeds were capable of germination from 21 days after anthesis. but maximum germination was recorded only on the 42nd day when the dry weight of seed attained the maximum and the moisture content was between 20 and 24 per cent. By this time, the accumulation of starch and protein was also completed. The matured pod at this stage could be identified by its brown colour and dry testa.
