Estimation of biochemical & yield parameters of soybean (G. max (L.) revalidated seed lots

Abstract

The experiment was laid-out in a RCBD with three replications and nine treatments (seed lots) viz., V1 JS 335- A/1 (Fresh Seed Lot), A/2 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 9 month), A/3 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 6 month), V2 JS 95-60- B/1 (Fresh Seed Lot), B/2 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 9 month), B/3 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 6 month), V3 JS 93-05- C/1 (Fresh Seed Lot), C/2 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 9 month), C/3 (Revalidated Seed Lot after 6 month). Biochemical parameters in the experiment, the result showed that maximum protein (%) in soybean variety JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot (41.7) and A/2 revalidated seed lot (41.0) among the seed lots. Similarly higher oil content (%) was JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot (20.1), highest fibre (%) in JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot (4.0) and variety JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot (5.2) had maximum ash (%) over the remaining seed lots. Improvement in structural yield contributing parameters resulted in all yield parameters are noted maximum in JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot.
