“…Seed dormancy is an adaptation of plants that prevents their seeds from germinating during adverse environmental conditions that will usually result in poor rates of survival of seedlings [11]. Seed dormancy could make that seeds do not sprout even when the conditions necessary for germination are relatively favourable [12]. This phenomenon has been described in classical literature as a negative developmental state where a viable seed fails to germinate despite appearing to have favorable environmental conditions [13].…”

Seed dormancy is a phenomenon that prevents seeds from growing during adverse conditions. A number of factors may be responsible for this phenomenon, but one very common reason is the hardness of the seed coat as in the case of Date palm. This research was conducted to determine the effect of different priming methods on the rate of germination of date palm seeds. The treatments include cold water, hot water, H2SO4 and control in a cross randomized design. For the cold water treatment seeds were soaked for either 24, 48 or 72 hours; for the hot water treatment they were soaked for either 5, 10, or 15 minutes; and for the acid treatment they were soaked in 25 %, 50 % or 100 % of H2SO4 for 5 minutes. Twenty (20) seeds were selected for each treatment to carry out the germination experiment using moist absorbent paper. Data for germination rate was collected at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after planting (WAP). An optimal germination rate of 83% was observed at 3 WAP for the hot water treatment for 5 minutes. From this research, it can be concluded that priming generally increased the rate of germination of date palm seeds.

“…The goal is to make the testa easier for water to enter at the time of imbibition. Strong acid solutions such as sulfuric acid with concentrated concentrations can make the testa soft, so it can be entered by water easily 9,17,24,28 . An acid solution in this study using sulfuric acid (H2SO4).…”

Abstract: Seeds are part of the plant containing embryo that grows through the germination process. This process involves metabolism occurs in seeds to produce roots and shoots. However, this metabolic process is inhibited by the environment and genetics of the seeds itself. Thus, the seeds experience dormancy and fail to grow. Dormancy can be broken with help of physical and chemical scarification to accelerate seed germination. The research aim was to determine the physical and chemical scarification seed dormancy breaking in increasing the germination rosary pea seeds (Abrus precatorius L.). The research method used was experimental randomized block design using 4 treatment groups, namely cracked (F1), sanded (F2), and soaked in 50% H2SO4 solution for 15 minutes (K1) and 30 minutes (K2) and the group control with water. The viability germination, germination rate (GER), vigor index (VI), simultaneous growth (SG) normal sprouts on day 6, and growth rate (GOR) were observed for two weeks. The results obtained that immersion in H2SO4 50% solution for 30 minutes and cracking could break the dormancy of rosary pea seeds and increase germination with higher viability of germination, GER, VI, SG, and GOR than immersion in 50% H2SO4 solution for 15 minutes and sanding.
