In addition to its effect on the productivity of the crop, the wilt and root rot disease complex adversely affected the quality parameters investigated. Seeds collected from diseased plants were found to be lighter and smaller than those collected from healthy plants. They were also shriveled and contained higher percentages of hard seeds. The protein content and digestible protein were significantly reduced by the disease. Seeds from healthy plants, required significantly longer cooking time and contained higher amounts of fiber than the ones from diseased plants. The adverse effects on seed quality were more pronounced with higher disease incidence
