 ABSTRACT

The present study was carried out with an aim to investigate the proper staining concentration and time of safranin solution to measure the mechanical damage in seeds of soybean crop. Two types of seed material were used i.e. processed and raw. Safranin chemical was used to measure the mechanical damage in both type of seed material with various concentrations i.e. Concentrate, 10%, 25% and 50%. The observations of the study indicate that for color reaction of 10% safranin solution for 10 minute was found most suitable to differentiate the damage and intact seeds. 

Key words: Soybean, Machenical Damagea, Sfranin.
