UJI LAMA PERENDAMAN BENIH MAHONI (Swietenia mahagoni) MENGGUNAKAN AIR DAUN SIRIH (Piper betle Linn.) DALAM MENJAGA KUALITAS BENIH
Abstract: Swietenia mahagoni
is thetype of plant that fast growing. Swietenia mahagoni usefull ranging from
seeds, leaves and stems. Society in general just let Swietenia mahagoni seeds
to grow naturally without treatment to the seeds. The best seed treatment is by
using plants that contain a disinfectant or antiseptic and easly found around
the environment, including the Piper betle Linn. This study aimed to determined
the soaking effect of Swietenia mahagoni seeds in Piper betle Linn. water
toward of seed quality and determined the best time term of long soaked seeds
in Piper betle Linn. water to keep seed quality. This research compiled in a
Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatment and 4 replications.
Treatment consists of soaking the seeds for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes
and 40 minutes. Data were analyzed by Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA), than
continued with DNMRT double distance test at 5% level. The result showed that
the soaking of Swietenia mahagoni seeds affect the quality of seeds, proved by the
percentage of seeds germinated better. The best seed soaking times is 40
minutes with the percentage of germination 85,5%, speed germination 14,98 days
and seedling height 11,29 cm.
