Seed storability of malapari (Pongamia pinnata Merril)

Abstract

Seed storage is carried out to secure the seed stock obtained from the harvest until they are planted. The appropriate techniques were used to maintain the seed viability during storage. The objective of the research is to evaluate the viability of malapari (Pongamia pinnata) seeds after being treated. The seeds are stored in a room in sealed plastic with no media, sealed plastic + coconut coir powder media, sealed plastic + husk charcoal. The other containers were calico fabric with no media, calico fabric + coconut coir powder media, and calico fabric + husk charcoal. The finding showed that the best storage was storing the seed in a plastic container plus husk charcoal media, and within five weeks, it can maintain the seed moisture content of 62.92%, germination percentage of 93.33%, and germination speed of 7.55% KN/et mal. The seed can also be stored in a plastic container without media at a moisture content of 60.69%, and a germination percentage of 91.00%.
