Enhanced Rice Germination Using of Bio-humic Solution from Cacao Pod Compost with Seed Coating Method

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal bioactivator for rice seed germination. Based on a randomized block design, a factorial design was used to set up the study experimentally. There were two treatments in the study: One of the factors was the availability of seed coating, which could be found in two variants: S1 and S2. Soaking in the bioactivator, which includes soaking the seeds in water or control (B1), Pleurotus sp (B2), and a biohumic solution (B3), is the second factor. The findings demonstrated that the Ciliwung variety of rice seeds germinated more readily after being coated with bio-humic material.
