Abstract

One factor affecting productivity is the quality of seeds with good initial seed vigor indicators, but less than optimum growing environment conditions also affect seeds' growth and initial Vigor. One of the technologies that can improve it is giving priming treatment to the seeds before planting. This study aims to see the effect of priming treatment to improve the quality of Vigor and early growth of 2 composite corn varieties, namely Sukmaraga and Bisma. The research was carried out in the laboratory and the Green House, with the experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with each seed of the two varieties treated with Hydropriming (soaking seeds before planting) using Ion-Free Water (IFW) for 30 minutes, 12 hours, and 24 hours plus a control treatment without Priming, and priming using PGR made from sodium orthonitrifenol 0.2%, sodium 2,4-dinitrophenol 0.05% both as controls. So there are a total of 10 treatments. The results showed that priming treatment greatly influenced the germination, where all Hydropriming treatments gave average germination above 88%, significantly different from seeds without priming below 82%. The hypocotyl length ratio of Sukmaraga and Bisma corn seeds was also different from the treatment without priming. Seeds with hydropriming for 12 hours showed the best field growth percentage, reaching 96.7% (Sukmaraga variety) and 96.98% (Bisma variety).

Abstract

A field experiment evaluated the effect of different doses of composted organic fertilizer made from rice straw on the yield of three local aromatic rice varieties of Luwu Regency in the safe growing season (rainy season). The local aromatic rice varieties were Ngappa, Sassa, and Latimojong varieties, and four doses of composted organic fertilizer from rice straw, namely 0, 4, 8, and 16 tons/ha, were used as treatment variables. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with two factors and three replications. At harvest, data were collected on various characters that contributed to the yield of aromatic rice. The results showed no characters were affected by the interaction of variety and compost dosage. Ngappa variety produced the highest dry grain yield per hectare with 3,834 kg/ha, while the highest average production of local Sulawesi aromatic rice was with the application of 16 tons per hectare of rice straw compost in this experiment which produced 4,241.78 kg of paddy per hectare.
