Abstract:
Study was made on the changes in the seed characters of gram
'Annigeri - 1' with maturity stages. Daily harvests were made from pod
formation upto 28 days after flowering. Among the various characters observed'
fresh and dry weight of seed and percent seed shell - out from fresh
and dry pods increased with advance of maturity. Conversely, the moisture percentage
in pods and seeds and the crude protein decreased with age of the
pods. Based on these observations, it would be derirable to harvest the crop 23
days after flowering for utilising the green seeds as vegetable.
