Survey on the quality of mungbean and soybean seed used by farmers in some areas of Phitsanulok province in dry season 1989/90 was found that 5 out of 15 of the seed samples were poor in quality which were lower than the minimum standard set forth in the seed legislations. Three out of 8 of the mungbean seed samples contained bruchids resulting in reduced seed germination from 75-91 percent to 21-45 percent within 3 months. 2 out of 3 of the soybean seed samples should not be used as planting materials and 2 out of 4 samples of blackgram were low in physical purity. Most of the farmers on this area normally keep their own seeds from the previous harvest or purhase from the local dealers.
