ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to find high seed viability and vigor of Kweni manggo selected from various seed sources in Bente village, Central Bungku sub district, Morowali district. The research was conducted from April to July 2017 at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, and at the Academic Garden of the Agriculture Faculty of Tadulako University, Palu.
