In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis and comparison of the physical and colour properties of sugar beet and beetroot seeds. The research involved measuring key parameters alongside evaluating colour characteristics. By employing frequency distribution curves, we visualized the variations in these properties, providing insights into the differences and similarities between the two types of seeds. The findings revealed distinct patterns in the physical dimensions and colour attributes, contributing valuable information for agricultural practices, and seed selection. From the results, it is clear that the little differences in the average of length, volume, geometric mean diameter, surface area, elongation, roundness, shape index, browning index, and yellowness index were 6.29mm, 79mm3, 5.2mm, 87mm2, 0.85, 1.27, 1.2, 174, and 28 for beetroot, and for sugar beet the results for same indices were 6.4mm, 74.5mm3, 5.06mm, 83mm2, 0.9, 1.19, 1.3, 213.4, and 35.73 respectively.
