Studies Relating to Relationship of Weight-Volume of Various Agricultural Crops

Abstract

Information is evaluated on relationship between weight-volume and
number of seeds per kg and per litre and volume per kg of seeds. The
results from this investigation would be useful in standardizing the size of
container for storing seeds. The information would be useful, particularly
for long-term and medium-term storage where standard size of storage space
is available. Employing the knowledge of weight and volume, number of
seeds in any volume of container of specific crop can be known which will
help in planning, distribution, germination test and regeneration strategy of
genetic stock. Number of seed samples of priority crops consisting of
small, medium and bold size were evaluated. Weight-volume relationship
was studied for barley, maize, paddy and wheat among cereals
