Physical characterization of morphologically diverse colour maize (Zea mays) seeds

The manual seeding, harvesting and processing operations are the most labour intensive current practices have many drawbacks. physical properties of seeds play an important role for designing or fabricating toolsor devices which meant various crop management operations. Therefore, maize such as mass, geometric mean diameter, arithmetic sphericity projected areas length, width thickness were studied at Central Institute Research on Cotton Technology, Mumbai, Maharashtra ICAR-Indian Maize Research, Ludhiana, Punjab during 2021–22 futuristic development tools promising lines colour germplasm.
