Abstract

Many trees find in the forest. One of trees is Adenanthera pavonina L. The part of Adenanthera pavonina L. such as seeds, leafs, and woods still used. One benefit of Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds are for cultivation. There are some obstacles on Adenanthera pavonina L. germination where the seeds still has dormancy period. To break the dormancy could be used water The aim of this research was to investigated the effect of water submerged time and investigated the best of water submerged time to Adenanthera pavonina L. germination. This research was arrange on Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 repeatizations. The treatments was the submergence time which was 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The test of the similarity range were done by SAS 9.13 Portable furthermore the comparison of average values were done by Duncan New’s Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) with a 5% confidence interval. The results of this research showed that Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds has effected to water submerged time. The effect of submerged time of seedAdenanthera pavonina L. for 72 hours was the best percentation of capacity germination at 32,66%, germination of seed at 29,33% and rate of seed germination at 6,6 days.
