STUDY OF STORAGE PERIOD AND PACKAGING TYPES AGAINST PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX (L.) MERRILL) SEEDS
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Soybeans are one of the agricultural commodities that are economically strategic sectors in Indonesia. The main limiting factor for soybean production is the availability of quality seeds because soybean seeds rapidly deterioration in storage. This study aimed to determine the effect of packaging type and storage period on the physiological aspects of soybean seed viability. The study was conducted at the Balai Benih Induk Laboratory, Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia from January to September. The study used factorial Randomized Completel y Design with 3 replications. The first factor is the packaging type (P) consisting of 4 levels: container (P1); plastic bags (P2), pots (P3), wooden box (P4). The second factor is the save period (S) consists of 3 levels: 2 months (S1), 4 months (S2), 6 months (S3). Variables observed were seed water content, germination, germination rate index, anaphase index, and chromosome aberration. The results showed that soybean seeds stored in container were able to maintain the quality of their seeds for 6 months in the storage period based on a decrease in water content, germination, and anaphase index. Soybean seeds stored in container can reduce the rate of deterioration of seed viability based on the germination rate index. Although the germination of soybean seeds stored in container for 6 months is still above 90%, they have experienced chromosome aberration.
