The speed of germination index ranged 18.24-23.27, seedling dry weight ranged 35.86-40.48 mg/seedling, root length was 13.12-15.43 cm/seedling and shoot length was 10.68-12.46 cm/seedling. KPS 1 variety seed gave the highest seedling fresh weight of 547 mg/seedling while PSU 1 variety had a high hard seed percentage of 41.50%.
