| Abstrak NURAZIZA, L13121319, The Effect of Container and Storage Time on the Viability of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) Seeds, Supervised by Ms. Zulkaidhah and Ms. Dewi Wahyuni Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) is a tropical fruit with high economic value and is widely distributed throughout Indonesia. Ecologically, jackfruit is relatively easy to cultivate and can grow in various soil types in tropical climates. However, the main problem in its propagation lies in the recalcitrant nature of its seeds, meaning they have a high water content and quickly lose viability. Therefore, proper seed storage is crucial to maintain seed viability and germination. The objectives of this study were: 1) To determine the effect of storage container on jackfruit seed viability, 2) To determine the effect of storage time on jackfruit seed viability, and 3) To determine the interaction between storage container and storage time on jackfruit seed viability. The method used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and analysis of variance, a factorial design consisting of two treatment factors. The first treatment, storage container (A), consisted of 6 levels, and the second treatment, storage duration (B), consisted of 2 levels. The combination of these two treatments yielded 12 combinations, each of which was repeated three times, resulting in a total of 36 experimental units. The parameters observed were seed moisture content, seed germination rate, and seedling emergence time (days). Further testing at the 5% level was performed. If significant differences were found, a Least Significant Difference (LSD) test was conducted at the 5% level. The results showed that the treatments responded differently to each parameter. The highest moisture content was found in treatment A5B2 (wooden box + cocopeat + 12 days of storage) at 65.15%, while the lowest was in A1B2 at 40.84%, indicating differences in the seeds' ability to retain moisture. The highest germination rate was found in treatment A1B1 (styrofoam box + 6-day storage) with a value of 4.00, indicating that the storage conditions were able to maintain seed viability. In the parameter of germination time, A1B1 also showed the fastest emergence with an average value of 0.45 on the 4th day, while late emergence occurred in A6B2 on the 14th day. Overall, the A1B1 treatment was the most effective combination in maintaining the physiological quality of seeds and accelerating the germination process. These findings indicate that the duration of storage and the type of container significantly affect the performance of jackfruit seeds, and can be used as a reference in recalcitrant seed storage techniques. |
