Ani Nurhani. 2012. Pengaruh Jenis Kemasan dan Pelapisan Benih terhadap Viabilitas, Vigor Benih serta Vigor Bibit Jagung (Zea mays L.) Selama Periode Simpan Tiga Bulan. Dibimbing oleh Wieny Heriliya Rizky dan Anne Nuraini.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh jenis kemasan dan pelapis benih yang memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap viabilitas, vigor benih serta vigor bibit jagung selama periode simpan tiga bulan. Penelitian dilakukan sejak bulan April 2012 sampai Juni 2012 di Laboratorium Teknologi Benih dan Rumah Kaca Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari dua belas kombinasi perlakuan yaitu jenis kemasan dan jenis pelapisan benih. Kemasan terdiri dari tiga macam yaitu kantong plastik, kantong semen dan kantong terigu, sedangkan pelapisan benih terdiri dari empat macam yaitu tanpa pelapisan benih, kitosan 3%, minyak cengkeh 1% dan kitosan 3% + minyak cengkeh 1%. Setiap perlakuan tersebut diulang tiga kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh jenis kemasan dan pelapisan benih terhadap kadar air, daya berkecambah, indeks vigor, kesehatan benih dan vigor bibit 3 bulan setelah penyimpanan. Benih jagung yang disimpan dalam kemasan kantong plastik yang disertai pelapisan benih dengan kitosan 3% + minyak cengkeh 1% menunjukkan daya simpan yang relatif baik dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat pada kadar air 1 BSP (bulan setelah penyimpanan), 2 BSP dan 3 BSP, daya berkecambah 1 BSP, 2 BSP dan 3 BSP, indeks vigor 1 BSP, 2 BSP dan 3 BSP, serta pada infeksi jamur 1 BSP, 2 BSP dan 3 BSP.
v ABSTRACT
Ani Nurhani. 2012. The Effect of Storage Package and Seed Coating on Seed Viability, Vigor and Seedlings Vigor of Corn (Zea mays L.) For Three Months Storage Period. Guided by Wieny Heriliya Rizky and Anne Nuraini.
This research aimed to obtain storage package and seed coating the best effect on seed viability, vigor and seedlings vigor of corn after three months storage period. The research was conducted from April 2012 until June 2012 in the Laboratory of Seed Technology and Greenhouse of Agriculture Faculty of Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor. The research design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisted of twelve treatments was combination treatment were the storage package and seed coating. that storage package was consisted of three various of plastic, cement and flour bags, while the seed coating was consisted of four various of seeds without coating, 3% chitosan, 1% clove oil and 3% chitosan + 1% clove oil. Each treatments was then replicated three times. The results showed that there was the influence of storage package and seed coating on seed moisture content, viability of corn seed, vigor index, fungal infections and seedlings vigor at 3 months after storage. Plastic bags and seed coating with 3% chitosan + 1% clove oil showed better storability of treatments. It has showed that seed moisture content at 1 month after storage (MAS), 2 MAS and 3 MAS, viability of corn seed at 1 MAS, 2 MAS and 3 MAS, vigor index at 1 MAS, 2 MAS and MAS, and fungal infections at 1 MAS, 2 MAS and 3 MAS.
