Abstract

Seed storage is an important aspect of plant breeding. Aged seeds tend to lose their viability during storage, reducing their ability to grow. One effort to increase the viability of seed germination that has been stored for a long period is to provide priming treatment to the seeds before planting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of garlic oil emulsion on the germination of aged melon seed that has been stored for more than five years. The study was conducted using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD). The first factor consisted of two melon seed lines that had been stored for more than five years, namely Ougan makuwauri (V1) and Ginsen makuwauri (V2), and the second factor was the priming treatment consisting of P0 = Aquadest, P1 = 0.125% garlic oil emulsion, P2 = 0.25% garlic oil emulsion, and P3 = 0.5% garlic oil emulsion, each treatment was repeated three times with a soaking time of 20 hours. There is an interaction between the line and priming treatment that significantly affects the variable of cotyledon opening on the fifth day and hypocotyl length. Meanwhile, the single priming treatment has a significant effect on the observation variable of cotyledon opening on the third day and has a very significant effect on the variable of root length of germinated melon seeds.

Abstract

Superior hybrid watermelon seeds developed by university plant breeders are currently very limited, with most farmers relying on seeds from national seed companies. This research aims to identify the superior characteristics of watermelon plants, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This study employed a Randomized Block Design (RBD), with six F1 hybrid watermelon lines and four control varieties as factors. Data were analyzed using the F-test, and significant differences were further examined using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% level. Qualitative data were used to cluster analysis based on agronomic characteristics, calculated using NTSYS software. The results indicate significant variations in several morphological and agronomic traits among watermelon genotypes. Genotype WM 2210-1606 is superior in stem diameter, flowering time, and early harvest. Genotype WM 2210-1110 excels in vine and leaf length. GARNIS has the highest fruit weight, and WM 2210-1606 shows higher sugar content at the fruit's edge. Cluster analysis divides the genotypes into three main groups based on trait similarities. These variations highlight the potential for improving watermelon quality through breeding superior genotypes.
