The results of weighted and counted seeds of the different provenances investigated in this study shown in
Table (2) Weight and count of seeds collected from different provenances
Provenance Wt. of 1000 seed (g) No, of seed/kg
Sinnar 129.74c* 7708
Um Abdalla 160.58b 6227
Zalinge 173.64a 5759
P > 0.0001 C.V = 18 SE ± 2.6
The results show significant differences between the three provenances. Provenance Zalinge showed heaviest seeds with least number
of seeds per Kg and Sinnar showed the vice-versa while Um Abdalla was mediocre for both traits

Table (3) show germination responses to different pretreatment techniques as reflected by final germination percentages .The results
show significant differences between treatments with soaking in GA 3 ,differentconc and H 2 O interval.
