 ABSTRACT

Sixty one genotypes including four checks were grown in augmented block design; all the recommended practices and plant protection measures were adopted for raising healthy crop. Analysis of seed physiological traits was carried out at Department of Seed Science and Technology, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. Range and mean of seed physiological traits were as follows: germination (90-100%; 95.81), speed of germination (13.15-43.5; 28.59), shoot length (6.29-11.59 mm; 9.18), root length (7.78-15.96 mm; 11.99 mm), seedling length (15.52-25.96 mm; 21.17 mm), seedling dry weight (0.12-0.27 g; 0.18 g), seedling vigour index-I (1417-2405; 2029.03), seedling vigour index-II (11.65-24.71; 17.12) and field emergence (81-100%; 92.71%).
