(Peer + review + Similarity + Document) KADAR AIR AWAL BENIH DAN PENGGUNAAN BAHAN DESIKAN PADA DAYA SIMPAN BENIH KEDELAI ( Glycine max, L. Merril )

This research was conducted at Seed Technology Laboratory,
Agriculture Faculty of Muhammadiyah University of Jember about “The
Previous Water Content Seed and Desiccant Matter Use versus
Storage Ability of Soy bean Seed (Glycine max, L. Merril).
This research was arranged with Randomized Completely Block
Design with two factor and three replications. The first factor was
consist of two level of seed water content : high water content (± 15 %)
and low water content (± 10 %). The second factor was consist of four
level of without desiccant matter, curd lime desiccant matter, charcoal
desiccant matter, and raw ash desiccant matter.
The result of this research showed that low water content (± 10
%) has high significant effect on viability and vigourus, whereas
charcoal desiccant matter has high significant effect on viability and
vigourus. There is interaction between high water content (± 15 %)
and charcoal desiccant matter un highly significant versus weight
desiccant matter after storage. Treatment of high water content (± 15
%) with charcoal desiccant matter has significant on seed water
content after storage.
