Abstract:
Yields of `Granex 33' and `Behairy' onions (Allium cepa) closely correlated with the weight of the seeds used to establish the stand. Elemental content was consistently higher in heavier seeds, but elemental concentrations in the seeds were generally negatively related to seed weight, onion growth, and yield. A combined size-aspiration grading was an effective means of eliminating seed with low-yield potential.

Abstract:
Seed grading is an important practice for better crop and also useful in separation of quality seeds in a seed lot. The aim of grading is to improve the uniformity of the seed lot by removing seeds of the same species with low quality. The present study was carried out to find out the optimum sieve size for size grading of seeds of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.) MDU1. The effect of seed size on physiological parameters were evaluated using BSS 10×10, BSS12×12 and BSS14×14 wire mesh sieves along with control. The barnyard millet seeds graded with BSS12×12 recorded higher seed recovery (76.67%) than other sieves used with required germination (92%), 1000 seed weight (3.9g), root length (14.1cm), shoot length (8.45cm), dry matter production (0.027g/10 seedlings) and vigour index (1983). Hence, seeds of barnyard millet MDU1 could be size graded using BSS12×12 sieve for more seed recovery with required seed quality standards as compared to BSS 10×10, BSS14×14 and ungraded seeds.

Abstract:
Grading fruits and vegetables has become essential for cross-border trade. There are various methods and technologies used for grading fruits and vegetables. In India, fruit growers mainly rely on manual grading, which is costly, labour-intensive, and affected by seasonal labour shortages. Manual grading is inefficient, inconsistent, and time-consuming. Grading of fruits and vegetables in ensuring the quality of produce and meeting consumer demands. The World Trade Organization (WTO) emphasizes high-quality graded products, prompting farmers to seek agricultural produce-grading machines for labour alleviation, time savings, and improved quality. Fruit grading enhances value, packaging, handling, and overall marketing. Typically, fruits are graded based on size, making them more desirable for export. Size-based grading methods include various types of graders. Weight grading is based on density and specific gravity. Market responsiveness necessitates improved grading and sorting practices to ensure quality assessment. Size variations in vegetables like potatoes and onions serve as the basis for categorization according to each country's market requirements.

Abstract:
AbstractSpinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) seed quality is important for subsequent establishment of baby leaf and other spinach products. The indeterminate flowering pattern in spinach produces seeds of different sizes, and consequently a non-uniform seed lot. Sorting seeds based on novel sorting methods might therefore improve the establishment of spinach for producers. Spinach seeds were harvested at five different times (H1, H2, H3, H4 and H5) starting 3 weeks before estimated optimum harvest time. The harvested seeds were sorted according to chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) and seed size. Two harvest times 6 d apart were selected for further studies of seed development and germination counts. Analysis of mean germination time (MGT) of four germination counts (3, 7, 14 and 21 d) showed that smaller seed sizes ( < 3.25 mm) have lower MGT than seeds of larger sizes (>3.25 mm). A larger proportion of 2.5–3.25 mm size seeds had germinated on day 3 than both their larger and smaller counterparts at the later time of harvest (H4). Seeds with a diameter below 2.5 mm displayed the lowest MGT. Commercially, the use of chlorophyll fluorescence (CF)-sorted seeds, in combination with seed size sorting, may provide a useful tool for enhancing seed quality. Here our results demonstrate that a greater number of seeds with a low CF level had germinated on day 3 compared to the seeds with high CF levels. It is of relevance to develop a technology that could identify seeds that are sufficiently developed to germinate and successfully establish in the field regardless of seed size.

Abstract:
Onion seed production is not exactly same as the cultivation of the onion as a crop. Due to lack of recommended standard cultural practices, an onion seed producer in Bangladesh is facing different levels of difficulties. To address this issue, the present study has been undertaken for generating farm level information on the production and input use pattern in the onion seed cultivation. Using semi structured questionnaire, a total of 50 onion farmers is randomly selected from Bagmara upazila, Rajshahi district for the interview. The results indicate that there were so many constraints on onion seeds production such as unavailability of high yielding varieties, shortage of information about recommended fertilizer doses, bulb size, planting space, setting of planting time, etc. At the same time, farmers are also fronting problem regarding paucity of separated land, absence of specialized onion cold storages. Considering the above- mentioned problems, the results showed that 70% of the farmers are not satisfied with the onion seeds yield. The study suggested that distribution system of the quality onion seeds has to be improved coupled with the onion research in Bangladesh has to govern by the dynamics of seed grower’s quality preferences and their socio- eco- climatic infrastructure. Furthermore, it is indispensable to introduce training programs for the farmers for improving their knowledge about management practices as seed production required highly skill person Res.

Abstract:
An interactive computer-based model has been developed to simulate the effects of precision planting onion on quality and yield. Variables used by the model are seed germination, plant survival, planter efficiency, onion growth potential, maximum onion size, sizing potential and inside-outside bed effects. Data bases obtained from 3 onion cultivars were used in the development of the model. The model shows when germination and plant survival are high, single seed drops by the planter results in high yield and large bulbs. At lower germination and survival values, however, a compromise is needed between maximizing yield and obtaining large bulbs.

Abstract:
Seed size is one of the characters associated with seed quality. The influence of seed size on seedling vigour and crop performance has been established in different crops like soybean, maize, gram and ashgourd. Variability in fruit size and shape is seen in pumpkin, even under good management. A significant correlation was reported between the fruit weight and number of good seeds in cucumber. Large sized fruits selected at the field level ensured recovery of large size seeds, which produce healthy, vigorous seedlings that was reported in ashgourd. Such information is lacking in pumpkin. The present studies were undertaken to trace out the influence of fruit grading on seed quality in pumpkin cv. CO2

Abstract:
Seed grading is an important practice for better crop establishment and to improve efficiency of planting ratio in field and also useful in separation of quality seed in a seed lot. The influence of seed size on physiological and biochemical seed quality characters were evaluated in Tephrosia seeds using seeds retained on 5.5/64″, 6/64″ and 7/64″ sieves along with control. The estimations revealed that larger size seeds retained on 7/64" sieves recorded the maximum recovery (64 %), 100 seed weight (2.0 g), speed of germination (14.1) germination ( 86 %), root length (8.5 cm), shoot length (11.0 cm), dry matter production (15.92 mg seedlings-10), vigour index (1677) and protein (10.56 %) compared to BSS 5.5 / 64'', BSS 6 / 64'' and ungraded seeds.

Abstract:
In an attempt to find out a suitable sieve size and machine speed for grading sunflower seeds in a two screen cleaner cum grader, performance of various sieve sizes (round perforated) and machine speed on seed quality was studied. Decrease in sieve aperture size from 5.5 to 4.5 mm and increase in machine speed from 150 to 225 rpm improved the recovery percentage. However, the physical attributes such as seed length, width, and weight decreased with the decrease in sieve aperture size and increase in grading speed. Germination was higher in seeds retained on 5.5 mm sieve (98.0%) and lower in seeds passed through 4.5 mm sieve (86.0%). The seedling growth and vigour parameters also showed a similar trend. Germination, seedling growth and vigour index of seeds graded at a midrange speed of 175.to 200 rpm were more compared to the extreme speeds of 150 and 225 rpm. For maximum recovery and better sowing quality, grading sunflower seeds using 4.5 mm sieve at a speed range of 175 to 200 rpm was found to be optimum..
