Pea Seed

Pea seed lots (of big and small densities and a control) were stored for six months in hydrostats in relative air humidity 90 and 50 per cent, at 21°C. Viability was determined on the basis of germination rate (energy) and capacity; vigour on the basis of sprout growth analysis, conductometric measurements and over-all dehydrogenase activity in the embryonic axes (tigella). Seeds stored in a high relative air humidity were losimg their viability and vigour more quickly than did those stored in a dry air. Seeds of big density were preserving better and ageing slower than seeds of small specific gravity.

In the recent past, specific gravity of tubers has been considered an easy means of estimating yield potential of sweet potato cultivars (Bryant, 1979) and their quality characters like starch value and dry-matter content (Ishikawa & Sakai, 1973). Bryant (1979) separated sweet potato tubers with low and high specific gravity at planting time by determining whether or not they floated in water, and observed that the floaters gave 20% higher yield than the sinkers. As this simple test claimed to hold promise for selecting higher-yielding sweet potato genotypes, it was decided to scan its usefulness at the College of Agriculture, Dholi, where a large collection of sweet potato germ plasm is being maintained for research needs.
