abstract
The aim of the study was to determine seed sources variation in Acacia nilotica. Seed were collected from twenty superior trees of Acacia nilotica from different locations of Uttar Pradesh to study genetic divergence in pod and seed characters. S17(Pukhraya) and S8(SHUATS) exhibited superiority for germination per cent. Maximum Cluster distance was observed highest cluster VI and VII followed by VIII and V. which indicated presence of higher order of divergence among the progeny of superior tress.
