Abstract
The influence of seed size on physiological and biochemical seed quality characters were evaluated in Bengal gram cv. CO 4 using seeds retained on 19/64", 18/64", and 16/64", round perforated metal sieves and with seeds passed through 16/64", round perforated metal sieves along with control. The estimations revealed that larger size seeds retained on 19/64" round perforated metal sieves recorded the maximum germination and seedling vigour. The protein content, dehydrogense and á-amylase activity were also more in larger sized seeds followed by medium sized seeds, indicating that the seed size had a positive association with seed quality parameters in chick pea.
