  2. Introduction • Good soybean seeds ensure a uniform stand of healthy and vigorous plants, which is essential to get the high yield and good quality needed for profitable vegetable soybean production. • Producing good quality seed depends on many factors, such as, growing season, location, management inputs, diseases and pests, post-harvest handling and storage.

  3. Physiological maturity is defined as the time when seeds attain maximum dry weight, maximum germination, and maximum vigor . (Mejia, 1985) • Seed priming is a technique in which seeds are partially hydrated until the germination process begins but radicle emergence does not occur. (Bradford,1986) • PEG-6000 increased seed germination and vigor index. (Gongping et al.,2000)

  4. Objectives • To observe the physiological maturity between two varieties of vegetable soybean • To improve the germination rate and uniformity

  5. Materials and Methods Field experiments Physiological Maturity of vegetable soybean • Two environments – Dry and rainy seasons (2010) • Design - RCBD with 2 replications

  6. Field experiments • Variety - Two varieties (AGS 292 and No.75) • Plot size - 8 m x 1 m • Plant spacing - 20 cm x 50 cm • Seed rate - 5 seeds / hill

  7. Tagging of flowers

  10. Germination % Seed Germinator Seedling Number of normal seedlings Germination % = x 100 % Number of seeds Evaluation of germination test (a) Normal seedlings (c) Fresh ungerminated seeds (b) Abnormal seedlings (d) Hard seeds and (e) Dead seeds

  11. Laboratory experiment Chemical priming method - PEG- 6000 conc: (Polyethylene glycol) Design - 4 x4 Factorial in CRD

  12. Factors - concentrations and soaking time • Factor (A) - PEG 6000(conc:) 0, 2.4 , 4.7 and 6.5 g/ 100 ml. water • Factor (B) - soaking time 3, 6, 9 and 12 hr • Variety - Two varieties (AGS 292 and No.75)

  13. Chemical- priming method(PEG) 50 seeds / replication PEG conc (A): 0, 2.4, 4.7, 6.5 g / 100 ml. water Soaking Time(B) 3, 6, 9,12hr Washing Drying Germination test (B.P.)

  14. Seed weighing PEG conc. Mixing Seeds and PEG Procedure Germination test Washing Weight (Original weight) Re-dried

  15. The primed seeds were washed with running tap water. (Lee and Kim, 1999) • Seeds were soaked in distilled water. After soaking seeds were redried to the original weight with forced air under shade. • (Bennett & Waters, 1987)

  16. Germination % Seed Germinator Seedling Number of normal seedlings Germination % = x 100 % Number of seeds Evaluation of germination test (a) Normal seedlings (c) Fresh ungerminated seeds (b) Abnormal seedlings (d) Hard seeds and (e) Dead seeds

  17. Seedling growth rate (SGR) Normal seedlings (dry weight) SGR = (mg/seedlings) No. of normal seedling Normal seedling Oven (80°C 24hr) Weigh with electrical balance

  18. Electrical conductivity(EC) (µS/cm/seed) Conductivity meter

  37. Discussion • The change in seed color and in pod color could be dependable indicators in vegetable soybean. Visual indicators of PM had also been suggested for soybean (Crookston and Hill, 1978; Tekrony et al.,1979 and Gibkpi and Crookston,1981). • Odell et al., (1992) reported improvement in the germination of PEG treated tomato seeds than non treated tomato seeds.

  38. Discussion • Murray (1990) observed in germination due to PEG. This may be due to fact that response to the PEG treatment is dependent on cultivars. • Murray (1989) concluded that over priming may cause oxygen deficiency. • Priming seeds might have plasma membrane structure by slow hydration than non treated seeds. ( Jett et al., 1996)

  39. Conclusion • AGS 292 and No.75 vegetable soybean varieties should be harvested within two weeks after physiological maturity to obtain maximum yield without any loss in quality. • PEG concentration improved the germination percentage than non treated PEG. • Seed treated with PEG decreased electrical conductivity value.
