Viabilitas dan Vigor Benih Kacang Tanah (Arachis hypogaea L.), Kacang Hijau (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek), dan Jagung (Zea mays L.) pada Temperatur dan Tekanan Osmotik Berbeda

Abstract

Viability and vigor are components of seed quality assessment which are influenced by internal and external factors of the seed, i.e., salinity and temperature. Salinity is related to the interaction between osmotic pressure and seed germination. This study used 3 types of seeds, they are peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek), and corn (Zea mays L.). The purposes of this study were to determine seed viability by using Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), to analyze the effects of different osmotic pressures and temperatures on seed viability and vigor. Peanut seed viability test was conducted by using 1% TTC solution. Testing the effect of osmotic pressure on seed viability and vigor was conducted by using various concentrations of NaCl (0.01 M; 0.05 M; 0.5 M; 0.1 M; 1 M). The germination test of the three seeds was conducted by using temperatures of 30°C and 35°C, each with three replications. The test parameters measured included germination, germination rate, germination speed index, vigor index, simultaneous growth, and the speed of seed growth. The results showed that TTC solution was effectively used to determine seed viability. Mung bean had the highest germination rate, LP, IKP, IV, simultaneous growth, and speed of seed growth compared to the other tested seeds in all salinity and temperature treatments. The 30 ⁰C temperature treatment resulted in the best viability and seed vigor for the three tested plants. Treatments of temperature and salinity affect the quality of the three plant seeds which can then be used to determine the quality of peanut, mung bean, and corn seeds.

Assesment of Viability of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Seeds Using Germination Method with Paper Media

“…Seed vigor properties indicate a seed's capacity to grow rapidly, normally, and uniformly. According to Fatikhasari et al (2022), a decline in vigor index and germination is a physiological sign of deteriorating seed quality. In the meanwhile, biochemical indicators include a reduction in enzyme activity, food reserves, and an increase in conductivity levels.…”

Application of kaliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissn.) myco-seedcake to support energy forest establishment

“…Generally, the thickness of the media indicates the nutrient content contained therein. The thickness of the media is related to the space provided by the press for root growth, and deeper thickness can stimulate the roots to penetrate to the bottom of the media to absorb water and nutrients [18]. However, myco-seedcake is different because this method goes through a drying stage, so the dried media will harden.…”

Pertumbuhan Vegetatif Kacang Tanah Setelah Disimpan Empat Bulan

“…Kecepatan tumbuh benih terendah terdapat pada varietas Hypoma 3, disusul varietas Badak, Talam 1, Tasia 1 dan Landak. Menurut (Fatikhasari 2022), tingkat kecepatan tumbuh benih akan berbeda-beda tergantung genotipnya, akan tetapi disinyalir cenderung menurun dengan semakin bertambahnya ukuran benih. Hal tersebut diasumsikan dengan bertambahnya ukuran benih maka luas permukaan juga akan semakin besar yang mengakibatkan semakin lama waktu imbibisi serta pengaktivan enzim dan hormon perkecambahan didalamnya.…”
