Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of seed size and seed
treatment on quality and yield of mungbean at the central experimental farm,
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh during
August to November, 2016. Treatments consisted of three different seed sizes

improvement of vegetative and reproductive development is attributed to the
seed quality. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of red chili powder
and bleaching powder had a positive impact on larger seeds size of mungbean.
