The assaying and grading plays an important role to identify the quality standard of the commodity. After the introduction of e-market in agriculture assaying plays an important role for the traders to trade online instead of physically go and check the commodity by hand picking method. In this study efforts are made to identify to understand the parameters of assaying under e- market, to check whether the assaying is done by the trader or by third party and to assess the role of Grading to determine the price for tur commodity. The study based on both primary and secondary method in which filed survey was conducted for the selected areas and also information is collected through secondary sources such as KSAMB (Karnataka State of Agriculture Marketing Board), UMP (Unified Marketing Platform), etc. The results shows that in Bidar market 33% goes for assaying by hand pick method and 67% goes for assaying by scientific method, in Gulbarga market only 8% goes for assaying by hand picking method and 92% goes for scientific assaying and in Sedam market 40% goes for assaying by hand pick method and 60% goes for scientific assaying. On the basis of average bids received the Raichur market is considered to be the major market for tur but for Bengal gram Gadag market is considered to be the major market. The regression results shows that the null hypothesis which is traders do not go for assaying is rejected and accept the alternative hypothesis which is traders goes for assaying.
