Arka Anoop. The experiment consists of eight treatments with seed Keywords pelleting viz. T1 control T2 seed pelleting with clay Gypsum 1 1 T3 seed pelleting with clay Neem leaf powder Gypsum 1 1 1 T4 seed pelleting with biofertilizers French bean seeds Rhizobium @ 30 g kg T5 seed pelleting with ZnSO4 @ 3g kg T6 seed pelleting with chemicals Borax @ 3g kg T 7 seed pelleting with Capton kg Imidacloprid kg and botanicals T8 seed pelleting with ZnSO4 @ 3g kg borax @ 3g kg Capton kg pelleting seed Imidacloprid kg and laid out in RCBD design with three replications. The yield seed quality. experimental results indicated the superiority of seed pelleting with ZnSO4 @ 3g kg Article Info borax @ 3g kg Capton kg Imidacloprid kg as compared to all other treatments including unpelleted control. Data on seed yield and quality parameters such as Accepted number of seeds per pod seed yield per plant seed yield per plot 17 April 2017 seed yield per hectare seed index germination root length Available Online shoot length root and shoot ratio seedling length 10 May 2017 seedling dry weight seedling vigour index-I 3484 .
