Pengaruh Perendaman Benih Kaliandra (Calliandra Calothyrsus) Pada Konsentrasi Larutan Air Kelapa

The formulation of the problem in this study is how is the effect of giving coconut woter solutionconcetration on the growth power of Kaliandra? This study aims to determine the effect and optimal dosageof coconut water solvent for increasing germination of Kaliandra seeds ( Calliandra calothyrsus ). The studywas conducted at Pusat Persemaian Permanen Fatukoa BPDASHL Benain Noelmina for one month fromFebruary to March 2022. The method used was a fully randomized design (factorial CR) with 3 treatmentsand 1 control and 5 replicates. Treatments in this study included L0 (control) 0% concentration (mineralwater), L1 25% concentration (coconut water 250 ml + distilled water 750 ml), L2 50% concentration (coconutwater 500 ml + 500 ml water), L3 concentration 75% (Coconut water 750 ml + Aquades 250 ml). The dataobtained were further tested using Analysis of variance with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (level 5%). Theresults showed that the concentration of the coconut water solvent had a very significant impact on thegermination power and germination value of seeds, but no significant impact on the germination rate index ofseeds with 50% concentration L2 treatment (coconut water 500ml + 500ml Aquades) as optimal doseconcentration with increasing germination of Kaliandra ( Calliandra calothyrsus ) seeds.
