QUALITY OF KM. 2 HYBRID BAJRA SEED IN DIFFERENT TILLERS OF A PLANT

Abstract

Investigations carried out to study the differences in quality of seed in different tillers of a plant revealed that the length. diameter and weight of earhead and yield of hybrid seed decreased significantly with the lateness of tillering in a plant. The recovery of large size seed was high from the primary tiller and low in the subsequent tiller. Weight, protein content, germination and vigour was significantly more in the soad, from the primary tiller than from other tillers.
