Pengaruh Priming pada Vigor Benih Kedelai (Glycine max. [L] Merrill) yang Dikecambahkan pada Tanah Masam

Abstract

The need of soybeans continuously increases due to the increasing of human population. The germination of soybeans seeds in the acid soil such as ultisol soil often experienced barrier. One of the ways to improve seed germination in the acid soils is to give priming treatment on the seeds. The research was conducted in the green house of the Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Lampung. It was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021. The research used factorial treatment that was applied in the Completely Random Design with three replicates. The Tukey’s Honestly Significance Difference with 5% level of significance was used to compare the average of treaments. Data analyzing was done by using R studio statistics program. The first factor  was kinds of priming which consisted of without priming as a controle, water priming within 12 hours, KNO3 1% within 3 hours, KNO3 2% within 6 hours, GA3 50 ppm within 14 hours, GA3 100 ppm within 14 hours, and PEG 7,5% within 24 hours. The second factor was three soybean seed varieties, i.e. Anjasmoro, Burangrang, and Grobogan. Results showed that Giberelin priming of 50 ppm for 14 hours was the best priming in seedling emergence in the ultisol soils. The Burangrang soybean seeds showed the best T50% and the number of radicles appeared in the first day. The Anjasmoro soybean seeds showed the best response in the dry weight of normal seedling and hypocotyls lenght of normal seedling in the ultisol soils.Key Words: Priming, soybean, ultisol, variety
