- Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal a method for accelerating seed germination and raising the growth of Leucaena leucocephala cv Taramba. The research was conducted in the agrostology laboratory of the Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production (IRIAP) from June to August 2021. The research method used a completely randomized design with three treatments and ten replications, with thirty plant units in one replication. The treatments were as tries to follow: P0: un - treated seeds (control), P1: sanded seeds, and P3: seeds soaked in warm water. The seeds of Leucaena leucocephala cv Taramba were soaked in hot water, sanded, and controlled before germination. Germination levels for each treatment were 25.29, 23.31, and 23.56% respectively. The germinated seeds were placed in polybags to grow and develop. Scarification was found to be significantly different (P < 0.05) depending on the number of leaves. Plant height, leaf length, and leaf width were not significantly different (P > 0.05).
