Abstract: The present experiment was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Laboratory of Seed Science & Technology, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of times and methods of sowing on quality parameters of fennel. The experiment consisted of five dates of sowing (10th, 20th, 30th October, 9th and 19th November) and two planting methods (direct seeding and transplanting). The results showed that seed quality parameters of fennel were influenced significantly by sowing dates. The seed quality parameters like test weight, germination percentage, seedling length and seed vigor index-1 were higher at 10th October sowing/transplanting crop. Regarding planting methods, all the parameters related to quality were found better in direct sown crop than transplanted crop. Test weight of all the main, primary and secondary umbels decreased with delayed sowing and was maximum in case of main umbel seed than primary and secondary umbels. Germination percentage and seed vigor index decreased with delay in sowing from umbels of all categories, irrespective of date of sowing and planting methods. It may be concluded that crop sown on 10th October with direct sown method at Hisar produced bold seed with better seed quality during both the years.
