Effect of mechanical damage in soybean seeds on seedling growth and final seed yield

Mechanical damage to seed is hard to detect except with X-rays. Seed damage rras adverse effects on growth and development of soybean (Glycine max L.J plants. This is manifested in reduction in dry weight of seedlings and final seed yield as high as 25% and 45% respectively. But the percentage germi...
