Perbedaan Bobot Biji Dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Daya Kecambah Dan Pertumbuhan Kecambah Tanaman Aren (Arenga Pinnata)
ABSTRACT
Sugar palm or palm tree (Arenga pinnata Merr) is a plant that produces industrial
materials. Propagation of sugar palm plants can be done generatively using seeds. The
problem in seed propagation is that it is not known what the best seed size has the potential to
accelerate the process of seed germination and obtain quality seeds. This study aims to
determine the effect of sugar palm seed weight and determine the best seed weight for sugar
palm plant growth and germination. This research was carried out from April 2021 to August
2021 which was arranged according to a completely randomized design with different sizes
of palm seeds consisting of four sizes, namely: < 4.0 g, > 4.0 g – 5.5 g, > 5, 5 g – 7.0 g and >
7.0 g. Parameters observed were germination, seed vigor, germination rate, apokol length,
apokol diameter, plumule length and plumule diameter. Data were analyzed using variance
and further tested using multiple distance test at 5% level. The results showed that the size of
the palm seeds had an effect on seed vigor, apokol length and apokol diameter while seed
weight had no effect on germination, germination rate, plumule length and plumule diameter
at seed size > 5.5 – 7.0 g indicating germination results and the best germination growth in
sugar palm plants. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it is expected
that when selecting seeds to be used in the germination process and sprout growth using
seeds with sizes > 5.5 – 7.0 g.
