Seed coated merupakan teknologi pelapisan benih dengan bahan tertentu untuk mempertahankan mutu benih dan membuat bentuk benih lebih teratur. Prosesing benih kapas saat ini masih menggunakan bahan kimia seperti asam sulfat (seed delinted) untuk menghilangkan kabu-kabu (linter) yang masih menempel pada biji setelah proses pemisahan serat dan biji. Seed delinted memungkinkan terjadinya kerusakan kulit hingga lembaga biji dan dapat menimbulkan masalah lingkungan dari limbah yang dihasilkan dalam proses tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh perlakuan benih pada tiga jenis varietas terhadap viabilitas benih kapas. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Faktorial dalam RAK. Faktor Pertama terdiri atas beberapa perlakuan benih yaitu benih berkabu, benih delinted, coated dengan tapioka dan kaolin serta coated dengan arabic gum. Sedangkan, faktor kedua terdiri atas varietas kapas yaitu Kanesia 10, Kanesia 18 dan Kanesia 19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara perlakuan benih dengan varietas kapas berpengaruh nyata untuk parameter panjang radikula dan menghasilkan koefesien keragaman mencapai 9.85%. Perlakuan benih coated dengan bahan arabic gum menunjukkan hasil yang terbaik untuk semua parameter pengamatan. Sedangkan, varietas Kanesia 10 menunjukkan persentase keserempakan tumbuh, persentase daya berkecambah, dan persentase potensi tumbuh maksimum terbaik masing-masing 92.25%, 96.25%, dan 98.00%. Perlakuan benih dengan teknologi seed coated menggunakan arabic gum pada Varietas Kanesia 10 dapat menunjukkan persentase viabilitas benih kapas terbaik. Effect of Seed Coating on the Seeds Viability of Three Cotton Varieties ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) Seed coating technology with certain materials is objected to maintain seed quality and to make seed shapes more regular. Currently, cotton seeds processing is using chemicals such as sulfuric acid (acid seed delinted) to remove the linter which is still attached to the seeds after the separation of fibers and seeds. Acid seed delinting could causing damage on the seed skin as well as to the seed embryo and also cause environmental problems from the waste produced in the process. Seed coated technology has the prospect to be applied in the process of cotton seeding, so the process becomes environmentally friendly. This study aims to evaluate the effect of seed coating treatment on three cotton varieties on the seed viability. This study uses Randomized Block Design Factorial. The first factor consisted of four seed treatments namely fuzzy seed (control), seed delinted, seed coated with tapioca and kaolin and seed coated with arabic gum. The second factor were cotton varieties namely Kanesia 10, Kanesia 18, and Kanesia 19. The results showed that the interaction between seed treatments with cotton varieties significantly affected the radicular length parameters and produced a coefficient of varians 9.85%. Seed coated with arabic gum showed the best results for all observation parameters. Kanesia 10 showed the best of growing simultaneity, germination, and the potential maximum growth by 92%, 96%, and 98%, recpectively. The cotton cotton seed coated with arabic gum is prospective to be applied in the cotton seeding process as an alternative to the acid delinting technique that is not environmentally friendly.

Foxtail millet is annual grasses with grains that are smaller than those of sorghum, rice, and wheat, and is considered one of the minor economic crops but with nutritional values similar to other major food crops. The development of millet as major cereal crop is considered challenging due to the low quality of its seeds, and studies have been conducted to improve millet’s seed quality. We conducted this study to determine the harvesting criteria of foxtail millet seeds based on the change in color of the panicles. We also wanted to determine the drying treatment, and evaluate the relationship between the position of the seed on the panicles and the seed viability and vigor. The first experiment was arranged based on a completely randomized design with panicle color as the first factor (green, yellow 75%, and brown) and drying time as the second factor (0 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours). The second experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with seed position as the main factor (base, middle, tip). The study was conducted on two genotypes of millet, i.e. “BOTOK 4” and “BOTOK 10”. The highest seed quality of “BOTOK 4” and “BOTOK 10” genotypes were obtained when the panicles were brown and dried for 72 hours; the seed chlorophyll content was the lowest and water content was 8.88%, with the highest viability and vigor, i.e., germination rate of 88.3%-90%, maximum growth potential of 92%-95.3%, normal sprout dry weight 596-620 mg, vigor index of 33.6% - 21.6%, and growth rate of 18.2%-17.1% etmal-1. The highest seed viability and vigor in “BOTOK 4” genotypes were obtained from the base position, i.e., 78.7% germination rate, maximum growth potential of 83.7%, vigor index of 56.5%, growth speed of 19.6 etmal-1, normal sprout dry weight of 48 mg, radicle length of 3.3 cm) and “BOTOK 10” genotypes from the middle position with 91.5% germination, maximum growth potential of 97.2%, vigor index of 21.7%, growth speed of 17.0% etmal-1, and normal sprout dry weight 61 mg.

Abstract In some areas, farmers sometimes delay planting due to several factors, including: unfavorable climate, unprepared land and insufficient manpower so that planting takes a long time. As a result, seeds that have been given a fungicide cannot be planted and stored under uncontrolled conditions, both at the place and temperature of the storage room. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the storage resistance of seeds that have been given a fungicide (saromyl) so that they can be used as a reference for storing seeds of saromyl. The research was carried out in June - December 2020 at the seed quality testing laboratory of the Cereal Crops Research Institute (Balitsereal), Maros, South Sulawesi Province. The corn seeds used in the study were Bisma 2018 and 2019, Sukmaraga 2017 and 2019, Srikandi Kuning 2018 and 2019, Lamuru 2017 and 2019 varieties. Observations were made on 1000 grain weight, moisture content, electrical conductivity, maximum growth potential, seed growth speed, length of primary root, length of shoot and number of secondary roots. This study used a completely randomized design with 4 replications. The results showed that at room temperature storage (25-26°C and relative humidity 50-58%) the seeds that had been given a fungicide (saromil) with a storage period of 21 days still had high seed quality. Even at low temperature storage (18-18.9°C and Rh 50-55%) during the 6-month storage period, the quality of the seeds was very good. The shelf life of seeds that have been given a fungicide (saromil), is influenced by the shelf life of the seeds, the temperature and relative humidity of the storage room.
