Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at the Seed Testing Laboratory, Department of Seed Science and Technology, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh, to characterize thirty urdbean genotypes based on quality parameters and chemical tests. Among 30 genotypes, seedling vigour index I was high in all thirty genotypes. The seeds were subjected to NaOH bleach test, KOH test and growth response test for differentiating the genotypes. The genotypes were grouped based on Potassium Hydroxide bleach test into orange color (26 genotypes) and dark orange red color (4 genotypes) types. Based on Sodium Hydroxide test, the genotypes were grouped into orange color (19 genotypes) and dark orange red color (11 genotypes) types. Based on growth response test, the genotypes were grouped into very low (4 genotypes), low (5 genotypes), medium (3 genotypes) and high (18 genotypes) types.
