The effect of seed weight on germination, survival and initial growth of Quercus dilatata was studied and the results showed that seed weights classes of 1.0 gm to 2.5 gm and 2.5 gm and above gave significantly better germination and survival percentage, seedling growths as well as seedling dry weights than the seed weight class of upto 1.0 gm. It is, therefore, recommended that Quercus dilatata seeds below 1.0 gm in weight should not be used for nursery sowings.

It is, therefore, recommended that Quercus dilatata seeds below 1.0 gm in weight should not be used for nursery sowings.
