Abstract
Soybean is important oilseed and pulse crop grown throughout
India and world. Proper grading of seeds by appropriate graders and sieves
depending upon varieties is important to enhance seed quality and
storability. Efficiency of seed treating chemicals in storage will be
enhanced by polymer coating, which holds the chemical intact and
prevents loss during storage.
Among four different methods studied, seeds graded by hand
cleaning recorded significantly higher seed quality parameters throughout
the storage period followed by grader 1 (model DELUX of agrosaw). As
hand cleaning is time consuming and costlier grading of seeds by grader I,
which caused less damage to seeds found to be better for processing of
soybean seeds. The variety JS-9305 revealed better seed quality
parameters during 10 months of storage.
