Abstract


Seed samples when dried at temperatures of 29, 38. 43, 48 and 530.5°C showed that (i) the removal of moisture was very fast during the first hour of drying: (ii) the moisture decreased to 9-10 per cent from 24-25 per cent after 24, 9, 6, 4 and 3 hours of drying at drying temperatures of 29, 38, 43, 48 and 530.5°C. respectively; and (ii) seeds dried at 38 and 430,5°C recorded significantly the highest germination and seedling vigor.
