Abstract/ Executive Summary:

It is essential to check the seed production and storability of the variety. Seeds of the variety HC-2, HC-95, HS-24 and breeding line CPI-72126 were stored in tin container and polythene lined gunny bag. Germination and moisture percentage were recorded every month. Total protein and oil content of seeds were also determined.It was that protein content of CPI-72126 was higher than other varieties and it was 171.64 ug/g of seeds. Lowest protein content (43.27 ug/g) was recorded in HC-95. Variety HC-2 and HS-24 had obtained 56.17 and 104.41 ug oriteub /g of seeds respectively. Results also showed that highest and lowest content of oil were recorded in the seeds of HC-95 and HC-2 and it were 19.92 and 16.93% respectively. Variety HS-24 and CPI-72126 had contained 17.26 and 18.71% oil respectively.
