Abstract

Seed is the initial input and final out put in every crop production system. 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 eight (8) breeder seeds and eight (8) pre-basic seeds total of 16 bread wheat treatment after 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 while no significant variation for other quality traits. The result of the study confirmed the mean square of all the varieties were above minimum standard which is guides the seed for next production the result from this study indicates that all the varieties fit minimum standard for the next seed production.
