Abstract

Kuranji acid is a plant that naturally grows in the mountains of tropical forests. It has tough seeds. Therefore, it is necessary to break seed dormancy. This research was aimed to know the response Germination of kuranji acid seed (Dialium indum L.) to scarification and concentration of potassium nitrate (KNO₃). This research was conducted in tissue culture laboratory and Greenhouse of Kawasan Sistem Pertanian Terpadu (Sitandu) Serang Banten Province from February until April 2020. The research design used a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with two factors. The first factor was scarification, consisted of three levels were without scarification, cutting of seeds, and sanding of seeds. The second factor was the consentration of potassium nitrate solution, consisted of three levels were concentration of 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5%. The treatment combination was repeated 3 times. The Parameters observed were: day of germination, maximum growth potential, power of germination, growth rate, normal sprout, and abnormal sprout. The results showed that the scarification treatment that sanding seed showed the best effect to parameters: day of germination (12.22 days), maximum growth potential (76.67%), power of age of germination (86.67%), growth rate (0.10%/day), normal sprout (62.22%) and abnormal sprout (14.46%). Concentration of potassium nitrate (KNO₃) 0.3% showed tend better to pamaters:. Day of germination (22.89 days), growth rate (0.08%/day %), maximum growth potential (61.11%), and normal sprout (47.78%). There was no interaction between the scarification and the concentrations of potassium nitrate to all parameters observed.
