Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Seed physiological maturity was studied to determine the optimum time of harvest and physiological changes in eggplant seeds. Eggplant seeds reached physiological maturity at 50 days after anthesis. During this stage the percentage of germination was 93.33%. The average seed moisture content was 52.09 %. The average dry weight of the seeds was 0.126 grams and then declined. This point determines the best time to harvest the seeds since it has already reached its physiological maturity. Keywords: germination, seed development, physiological maturity, seeds, eggplant.
