The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of physical characters seeds on physiological characters like seed germination and seedling growth of A. marmelos L. Corr. Seeds were size graded in to large, medium and small based on seed size (length and breadth) and weight. The result revealed that the size-graded seeds influence the seed germination and seedling growth. The large seeds gave maximum germination followed by medium and small size seeds.
