Pengaruh Filtrat Cendawan Aspergillus SP. Dan Fusarium SP. Terhadap Viabilitas Benih Dan Pertumbuhan Bibit Sengon (Paraserianthes Falcataria)

Fungi are one of the main causes of damage to seeds. Fungi can be a pathogen or saprophyte such as Aspergillus sp. and Fusarium sp. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of filtrate fungus Aspergillus sp and Fusarium sp on seed viability and seedling growth performance of Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria). The experiment design used was the Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with treatment: control, filtrate of Aspergillus sp and Fusarium sp filtrate. Each treatment was repeated 4 times. Variables measured include germination, percent of live seed, height, diameters, biomass, root shoot ratio, and the index quality seeds. The results showed that the fungus Aspergillus sp filtrate and Fusarium sp significantly affect seed germination, life percent, height, diameter, NPA, IMB, and biomass of seedlings Sengon. The filtrate of fungus Aspergillus sp and Fusarium sp may cause the decrease in seed viability and seedling vigor of Sengon

The Effect of Method and Germination Paper Substrate on Viability of Eucalyptus Pellita F. Mull Seed

Improper seed handling of Eucalyptus pellita will reduce seed quality, so as to improve the viability of the seed proper handling techniques are needed. To investigate the seed germination potency as a result of seed handling germination seed tests are needed. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of germination method and paper substrate on the viability of E. pellita seeds. Seeds used in this study were from seedling seed orchard in South Sumatra, South Kalimantan, and Riau. Seed germination methods used in the laboratory tests were method of top paper and between paper tests, besides that, different papers were used such as: paper substrate namely straw paper, towel paper, filter paper, and newspaper. Factorial experimental design completely randomized was used. The results showed that: (1) the method of germination and paper substrate was significant (2) the best paper substrate and germination method was the method of top paper test with used media of newspaper (germination percentage 204 seedling /0.01 grams)

Seeds Sortation by Shieving to Improve Seed Viability of Eucalyptus Pellita F. Mull

Eucalyptus pellita seeds have a very small size, so that it needed techniques of seed sorting using sieves to increase quality of the physical and the physiological. This study aims to determine sieve size for sorting seeds of E. pellita so as to maintain viability. E. pellita seeds used in this study comes from seedling seed orchard (KBS) in southern Sumatra, South Kalimantan, and Riau. Seed sorting is done with some sieve size namely 200 µm, 400 µm, and 600 µm. Parameters measured were the purity, weight of 1000 grain seeds, and germination. The results showed that the size of a 600 µm of sieve is appropriate for sorting seeds E.Pellita, because it can result in weight of 1000 grains (0.0362 grams), purity (60.54%) and higher germination percentage (184 sprouts/0.1 grams) than the others

Perbandingan Vigoritas Benih Acacia Mangium Hasil Pemuliaan Dan Yang Belum Dimuliakan

Seeds with high vigour are seeds that can germinate normally in sub-optimum conditions and above normal in optimum condition. To predict the performance of seedlings after planting and the storability of seeds, it is necessary to test the seed vigour. This study aims to investigate the growth and storage vigour of Acacia mangium breeding and unbreeding seeds. The experiment design was arranged in completely randomized design with each treatment being replicated four times with 100 seeds. Results obtained showed that breeding seeds had better growth and storage vigour

Teknik Perlakuan Pendahuluan Dan Metode Perkecambahan Untuk Mempertahankan Viabilitas Benih Acacia Crassicarpa Hasil Pemuliaan

Acacia crassicarpa improved seed has a higher quality than unimproved seed. To maintain the viability, improved seeds are required as appropriate handling techniques. One of the important steps in seed handling is seed germination test. A. crassicarpa seed have dormancy and to break it needs spesific pretreatment. Germination test can be worked in the laboratory and greenhouse. The purpose of this research was to obtain pretreatment and germination method better to maintain the viability of A. crassicarpa improved seed. Pretreatment in resources were without treatment, soaking in hot water (100oC ) and followed by soaking for 24 hours in cold water, soaking for 1 minute in hot water (100oC) followed by soaking for 24 hours in cold water, soaking for 6 minutes in hot water (100oC) followed by soaking for 24 hours in cold water, soaking for 30 minutes in H2SO4, torn of seedcoat, and torn of seedcoat and then soaking for 24 hours in cold water. Laboratory Germination method were top of paper (TP), between paper (BP), and pleated paper (PP) test. Whereas growing media used in greenhouse were top soil, sand, a mixture of top soil and sand (1:1/v:v), and cocopeat. The results showed that to maintain the viability of A. crassicarpa improved seed required the best pretreatment technique and germination methods were (1) in laboratory used combine between torn of seedcoat and top of paper. In this method, the percent of seed germination reached 96 %, and (2) in greenhouse used combine between torn of seedcoat and cocopeat. In this method, the percent of seed germination reached 88 %

The Invigoration Techniques of Nyamplung (Calophyllum Inophyllum L.) Seeds During the Storage

Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) is one of forestry plant that has double benefits (economic and ecological). One of the problems faced in the development of nyamplung is its recalcitrant seed, which can not be stored for long periods. To increase the viability of nyamplung seed during storage, seed invigoration techniques are required. Invigoration is the treatment given to seeds before planting with the aim of improving germination and growth of sprouts. The purpose of this research is to know the proper invigoration technique on nyamplung seed during storage. The experimental design of the research was used Completely Randomized Design (CRDL) with factorial. There are 2 factors treatments: the first factor of: Invigoration treatment (control, osmoconditioning with soaking in aquades for 24 hours, osmoconditioning with immersion in PEG-6000 concentration 15 % for 24 hours, matriconditioning with moisture of newspaper (CD) for 2 hours, and matriconditioning with moisture ash scrub for 2 hours) and savings period factor the second factor of period of storage (0, 1, and 2 months). The research was conducted with replication is 4 times, @ each with 50 seeds of seed. The observation of germination is done after normal sprout growth, which it has of a pair of leaves. The parameters observed were germination and germination rate. The results showed that the proper invigoration technique on nyamplung seed during storage was the treatment of matriconditioning with moisture of newspaper (CD) for 2 hours. With this treatment it can increase the viability of seed nyamplung (germination) at 42 % and vigor seed (germination rate) at 0,56 % /etmal. results at the end of the abstract. The longer the storage period will cause the value of germination and the speed of germination to decrease

Karakteristik Benih Kayu Bawang (Azadirachta Excelsa (Jack) Jacobs) Berdasarkan Tingkat Pengeringan dan Ruang Penyimpanan

Karakteristik benih penting diketahui karena untuk menentukan teknik penanganan benih secara tepat. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengeketahui karakteristik benih kayu bawang. Pengujian dilakukan berdasarkan tingkat pengeringan (0, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 jam) dan ruang penyimpanan benih (ruang suhu kamar, AC, kulkas). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa benih kayu bawang termasuk benih reklasitran dengan kadar air awal 57,21%, daya berkecambah 83%, kadar lemak 17,04%, kadar karbohidrat 9,07%, dan kadar protein 12,69%. Faktor tingkat pengringan dan tempat penyimpanan benih berpengaruh signifikan terhadap daya berkecambah, kadar air, kadar karbohidrat dan kadar lemak benih kayu bawang, sedangkan terhadap kadar protein hanya faktor waktu simpan yang berpengaruh nyata. Semakin lama benih dikengeringkan mengakibatkan menurunnya kadar air, daya berkecambah, dan kadar karbohidrat, namun kadar lemak dan protein meningkat. Benih kayu bawang bisa dismpan di ruang kamar atau di ruang AC dan segera disemaikan
