Seed quality of lablab bean [Lablab Purpureus (L.) Sweet] influenced by seed maturity and drying methods

Lablab bean or ‘Kacang sepat’ is a food crop originating from India and commonly found in tropical area such as Indonesia, Thailand and Philippine due to its adaptability. However, in Malaysia lablab is grown as a backyard crop and area cultivation with this crop is still limited. Due to the high...
