Abstract

The field experiment was carried out at UAS, GKVK, Bangalore to study the effect of seed size and threshing methods on seed quality parameters of French bean [Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) cv. Arka suvidha]. The experiment consisted treatment combinations of seed size and threshing methods and its interaction effects. The results revealed that the bold seeds recorded increased seed quality parameters. The size group of S2 (5.00 mm) and S3 (4.75 mm) recorded increased seed quality parameters. Whereas 5.00 mm showed significantly increased seed quality parameters as compared to that of bulk seeds.
