Abstract

Bread wheat is one of the most important cereal crops produced and consumed in Ethiopia. But every production could not generate seed because seed is a living entity that need maximum care and required a serious of management procedures to fit minimum quality standard. Bread wheat seed production is the leading crops tested by both abiotic and biotic factors which reduce seed quality. Kulumsa Agricultural seed researcher’s team is yearly testing quality of their seeds both at field and laboratory. The present study was carried out on Fifteen (15) breeder seeds and Twelve (12) pre-basic class a total of 27 bread wheat after Harvesting and post cleaning by Using RCBD design under laboratory. Seed germination (%), Moisture content (%), Seed physical purity (%) and thousands seed weight (TSW) were the quality parameters. data collected were Subjected to Analysis of variances by using SAS 9.3 software to confirm all varieties fit minimum seed quality standard or not. Analysis of variance revealed that there is a significant variation among treatments for seed purity, inert matter, TSW, HLW, MC and Germination (%) while no significant variation for other quality traits. The mean square of all the treatment revealed that they fit above minimum standard which is guides the all seeds had good input for Production and productivity.
