Description Fifteen genotypes of mungbean were evaluated for their performance for different viability
and vigour parameters viz. standard germination, seedling length, seed weight, seed density, vigour
index-I, vigour index-II, accelerated ageing test, electrical conductivity, tetrazolium test,
dehydrogenase activity test, field emergence index and seedling establishment to assess the effect of
planting season on seed quality. Significant mean squares values showed the wide variability among
the genotypes and seasons for all the parameters studied. Among the genotypes MH 729, followed by
MH 736 and MH2-15 have the top rank for almost all the vigour and viability parameters except
electrical conductivity which showed the lower value indicating their superiority in both the
season(summer and kharif). On the contrary, genotype MH 534 found to be inferior for most of the
viability and vigour parameters. Among the seasons, seed produced in summer season showed
superiority over kharif. Maximum hard seed were observed in genotype MH421 (22.00) followed by
MH125 (19.33) and the lowest in genotype MH810 (8.00). Seed obtained from the crop raised during
kharif season showed maximum number of hard seeds ranging from 11.00 to 33.00 as compared to
summer raised crop (2.67-14.00).
Standard germination and seedling establishment were found significantly and positively
correlated with all the seed quality parameters except electrical conductivity in both the seasons.
Electrical conductivity was found significantly and negatively associated with all parameters studied in
lab and field. Therefore, it is concluded that tetrazolium test, electrical conductivity test and
dehydrogenase activity test can be used as a quick reliable predictor of standard germination and
seedling establishment in mungbean and summer season could be considered better option for the
production of basic seed.
