A: Cowpea (host variety), B: Mung bean (BRM-102), C: Mung bean (BRM-106), D: Mung bean (BRM-28). Seed size assessment on graph paper. 1BD:25 mm, 1SD: 2.5 mm. Seeds placed length wise along one side and width wise along other side. Assessments include individual seed lengths, widths and area. BD, Big division; SD, Small division.
