Abstract:Palm oil is a dormant plant. The main cause of oil palm seed dormancy is the hard and thick seed coat or shell, inhibiting the effective absorption of water and gases.

This study aims to determine the effect of chemical treatment on breaking palm oil dormancy by immersion in a solution of strong acids, namely H2SO4, KNO3, and HCl. This study used a completely random design (CRD) with three treatments, four obse… Show more
