Abstract

The seed samples of Albizia lebbeck were collected from thirty seed sources throughout the country. The seed quality parameters of the samples were evaluated using image analyzer. Significant variation was observed among seed sources for seed quality parameters. On the basis of overall performance, Mettupalayam followed by Bhagwala and Gudag sources expressed superiority for seed traits. These identified seed sources could be useful to collect seeds of Albizia lebbeck for genetic improvement and plantation programmes.
