Assessment of growth & yield component of soybean revalidated seed lots

Abstract

The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications and nine treatments (seed lots) with a view to assessment different variety for growth & yield component was significantly higher germination % was recorded in JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot (84.1), C/1 fresh seed lot of JS 93-05 showed the significantly higher seedling length (24.4) and JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot found higher value (17.0) in shoot length. The maximum root length was found in JS 93-05 C/1 fresh seed lot (7.8) and the maximum seedling dry weight was noted in JS 93-05 C/3 revalidated seed lot (1.3). The results showed that JS 93-05 C/1 fresh seed lot (6.6) had higher number of branches plant-1 over remaining the seed lots. However, JS 95-60 B/3 revalidated seed lot (4.9) noted minimum branches plant-1. JS 335 A/1 fresh seed lot was noted highest (74.7) number of pods plant-1 and (223.6) number of seeds plant-1. The variety JS 95-60 B/3 revalidated seed lot (12.0) recorded higher 100 seed weight. Among these soybean variety studies, better performance in terms of growth & yield was found promising for higher yield in Madhya Pradesh.
