Physical properties of bambara groundnuts from Botswana

Physical properties of bambara ( Vigna subterranea (L.) verdc.) seeds landraces from Botswana with mean moisture content (dry basis) 7.17–8.99% were evaluated in this study. The landraces were Zimbabwe Red (National Tested Seed Red – NTSR), Botswana Red (BotR), Diphiri cream (DipC1 & DipC2) and...

Zusammenfassung:Physical properties of bambara ( Vigna subterranea (L.) verdc.) seeds landraces from Botswana with mean moisture content (dry basis) 7.17–8.99% were evaluated in this study. The landraces were Zimbabwe Red (National Tested Seed Red – NTSR), Botswana Red (BotR), Diphiri cream (DipC1 & DipC2) and speckled (AS17). The mean value for length, width and thickness of bambara seeds ranged from 11.01 to 11.81 mm; 9.41 to 9.96 mm and thickness 9.05 to 9.48 mm, respectively. The size of the bambara seeds was graded as large (>10.5 mm), medium (9.50–10.49 mm) and small (
