Popis: Baobab is an important multipurpose fruit tree which provides food and economic values along the sub-Saharan African countries. Although there has been remarkable research on domestication of Adansonia digitata, understanding the variation on seed germination and early growth of baobab among different seed sources and planting tube sizes is essential for silvicultural practices at the nursery stages, massive domestication and conservation strategies. The study assessed the effect of different planting tube sizes on seed germination and early growth of baobab seedlings of 10 Malawi subpopulations. Two-way ANOVA revealed significant interaction (p
