Variability studies in different seed sources of Dalbergiasissoowith respect to seed, pod, germination and seedling traits were under taken at Deparmentalnursery,glasshouse.Five provenances namely Bilaspur, Bastar, Korba, Raigarh and Sarguja of Chhattisgarh,India were used in the study. The study revealed that highly significant differences among provenances in all studied parameters except pod thickness. Highest variation among provenances in seed traits was observed in seed weight and seed length while seed thickness had the lowest variation. Overall mean germination among provenances was 70.2% varying from 32.7 to 93.3%. Most of the traits showed significant correlation with geographical factors viz. longitude, latitude and altitude. The observed variation will enable selection of provenances with desired traits for tree improvement and recommendation of specific provenances for different sites.
