Abstract

                                The need for rapid and reliable methods of testing cotton seed is greatly felt by workers engaged in multiplication and procurement of cotton seeds. The conventional methods of testing for germinability delays and hinders speedy decisions regarding procurement and distribution of cotton seed. Testing with tetrazolium bromide is claimed to be a quick method for estimating the viability of seed. An experiment was conducted to assess the reliability of the chemical means for testing the viability of cotton seeds in comparison with conventional methods.
