Pengaruh Lama Perendaman Dalam Giberelin Terhadap Pematahan Dormansi Benih Pala (Myristica Fragrans Houtt.)
ABSTRACT
Nutmeg cultivation was done by generative propagation using seeds to support the provision of seedlings in large quantities. Generative propagation of nutmeg plants has the problem that nutmeg seeds have physical dormancy, so it takes a long time to germinate. One of the efforts that can be done to break the dormancy of nutmeg seeds was by soaking nutmeg seeds in gibberellin solution. This study aims to obtain a better length of soaking nutmeg seeds in gibberellin for breaking seed dormancy. This research was conducted from March 2024 to June 2024 at the Plant Breeding Laboratory and Greenhouse of the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University. The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) with the treatment of soaking time of nutmeg seeds in gibberellin, which consisted of five treatments, namely soaking nutmeg seeds in distilled water for 3 hours (control), soaking nutmeg seeds in 50 ppm gibberellin for 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours and 6 hours. Each treatment was repeated four times with each experimental unit consisting of 25 nutmeg seeds. The results showed that soaking nutmeg seeds in gibberellin for 4 hours was a better treatment for breaking dormancy and growth of nutmeg seedlings. Soaking nutmeg seeds in gibberellin can accelerate the emergence of plumula, increase germination, germination index value, seedling height and seedling growth.
