RESULTS
Mechanical damage percentage
Regarding to variance analysis results (Table-1),
there was a significant difference at 1% level probability
between tested cultivars in mechanical damage percentage.
The cultivar of Sahar with the maximum mean (22.77%)
showed significant difference with other two cultivars.
Williams’s cultivar with 19.22 percent mean didn't show a
significant difference in mechanical damage with D.P.X
cultivar with 18.77 percent mean three moistures showed a
significant difference (1% level error of probability). 16-
18 percent seed moisture showed the maximum
mechanical damage (25.22 percent mean) and the moisture
of 12-14 percent with 16% mean had the minimum
mechanical damage percentage which had the significant
difference with other two levels. The moisture of 14-16
percent with 19% also had significant difference with
other two moisture levels (Table-3).
