VIABILTY OF WHEAT SEED PRODUCED FROM DIFFERENT SEEDING METHODS ON HIGHLANDS BOUNDER IRRIGATED CONDITION.

บทคัดย่อ

Studies were conducted in order to define effect of different seeding methods on seed viability of wheat grow in highlands under irrigated conditions. The Experiment was conducted at two locations, Khun Pae and Kae Noi Stations. Seed quality was not significantly influence by seeding methods of drilling, hilling and broadcasting. Regardless of method and location, wheat seed maintained their qualities in terms of germination and moisture content. Storing seed in paper bags under ambient conditions for 7 months provided the good germination rate of 78%. Atmospheric relative humidity was the major factor responsible for increase and decrease in moisture content.
