To ascertain the best possible method for deed treatment that would enable germination and seedling growth of Mucuna bracteata, the experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of Institute of sustainable Agro technology, University Malaysia Perlis, Padang Besar, Perlis, Malaysia. The design of the experiment was based on the Completely Randomised Design and it consisted of four replications. The results of the experiment indicated that when the seeds are treated in a blender for 2 minutes, it considerably improves the speed of germination, percentage of germination, mean daily germination, fresh shoot, dry shoot weight, and shoot to root fresh weight ratio. On the other hand, when the seeds were soaked in H2SO4 for 30 minutes, there was an improvement in the total fresh weight, mean germination time, dry root weight and total plant dry weight. When the seeds were treated in a blender for 4 minutes, it substantially improved the germination value, the peak value, and the total number of leaves per plant.
