Germination of Black Soy Bean Generation Mutan 4 (M4)

Abstract

The seeds used are seeds that have undergone a storage process before being germinated. Seeds stored in the right conditions can reduce germination or viability, such as packaging material, temperature, and lack of moisture. This study aims to determine the germination after the storage process to be planted in field conditions. This research was conducted at the Politeknik negeri lampung green house in August 2022. The study used a completely randomized design with different genotype treatments consisting of 6 genotypes M4 resulted from selected by the M3 generation ((R1119 (G1), R2125 (G2), R2211 (G3), R221 (G4), R321 (G5), and R41119 (G6)), each treatment was four replicated. The observed variables were electrical conductivity, germination, maximum growth potential, vigor index, growth speed, Growth synchronously, plant height, and root length. Data were analyzed by F 5% test, if the genotype has a significant effect continued Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The observations obtained were only the observed vigor index variables that had a significant effect. The result of this reseacrh is 6 genotypes still had high germination, which was above 80%, and genotype R321 has the lowest vigor index compared to genotype R1119, R2125, R221, and R41119.
