Provenance Variation in Seed Parameters of <I>Acacia nilotica</I>

Abstract

In a study of the Acacia nilotiea seed paramaters, provenance variation significant at 0.1% level of probability was observed. The estimates of provenance variation, residual variation and percentage of total variation explained by provenance revealed that the provenance were not able to explain tbe total variability more than 19%. This probably due to the musking effect of more number of samples from a particular zone on the others. The simple correlations between different pairs of characters were determined where length and width only were found to be correlated.
