Abstract
The physical properties of different varieties of lathyrus viz ., Ratan, Pratik, Mahateora, BIOR-231, Pusa-28, NLK-05, NLK-73, NLK-48, NLK-40 and NLK-36 were studied at moisture content of 7.90 to 19.40, 6.75 to 18.30, 9.48 to 21.02, 9.79 to 21.34, 9.52 to 21.04, 9.03 to 20.61, 9.91 to 21.49, 9.22 to 20.83, 9.42 to 21.03 and 9.10 to 20.71% (d.b.). The grain size, thousand grain weight and angle of repose, were found increased linearly and the average increase was found to be 8.07, 15.11 and 21.32%, respectively, with the corresponding increase in moisture content. The sphericity and porosity increased initially and then found decreased with further increase in moisture content. The bulk density and true density values decreased linearly and the average decrease was found to be 15.01 and 13.71%, respectively.
