Pemberian H2so4 dan Air Kelapa pada Uji Viabilitas Biji Kopi Arabika (Coffea arabika L.)
Abstract: Arabica Coffee is
important plant in
Indonesia. The coffee
seeds can be
germinated normally, without special treatment, in 6 – 8
weeks, special treatment either physically or chemically can faster dormancy of the seeds, so they can
germinate in 4 – 6 weeks after seedling. This research aimed to know the
influence of giving H2SO4 and
coconut water in
speeding seed dormancy
which was conducted
for 2 mounths
from January to March 2013 in the greenhouse of faculty of Mathematics and Natural
Science, Tanjungpura University
Pontianak. The research
methodology used factorial
experiment with complete
randomized design which consisted
of two treatments
that are concentration
H2SO4 with four
levels: control, concentration
15%, 20% and 25%. The second factor was concentration of coconut water with
four levels that are conrol, concentration 60%, 80% and 100%, each of these was
treated repeatedly, thus 48 unittrials were
achieved. The research
showed that giving
20% H2SO4 and
100% coconut water
can speed seed dormancy with germination percentage 86,66%, germination growth 30,46%
and speed of growth 41,65%.
