The Study Of The Effect Of Various Methods Of Harvesting And Curing On The Color And Viability Of Lima Bean Seed, S. G. Date
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many seedsmen have observed that lima bean seed of a variety like Early Thorogreen, which has green cotyledons, often fades in color during harvesting. This fading of color is known as bleaching. A variety which has green cotyledon and hence green seed, should retain this green color during harvest. Bleached seeds are likely to emerge slowly when planted. Also the final field stand from a planting of bleached seed is likely to be poor.
