Abstract

Tamarindus indica L. is one of the fruit yielding trees and commonly used for wasteland afforestation. Seed and seedling characters are most important for afforestation programme and these characters are interdependent and polygenically controlled.  The study conducted to elucidate the selection criteria at early stage based on association of characters of seed and seedling revealed the existence of strong inherent association between various traits at genetic level. Hundred seed weight and shoot characters (shoot length and number of leaves) can be used as selection index at seed and seedling stage respectively.
