An experiment was conducted to study seed dormancy (hardseedness) in seventeen genetic lines and three commercial cultivars of pigeon pea. The seeds were hand-harvested, hand-shelled, and stored in paper bags in a chamber with 10°C and 25% air relative humidity. Four replications of fifty-seed samples were put to germinate in moist paper rolls at 30ºC, after one, two, three, four, five, nine, twelve and fifteen months of storage. No hard seeds were observed among eight lines and the three commercial […]
