Perlakuan Coating dengan Menggunakan Isolat Methylobacterium spp dan Tepung Curcuma untuk Meningkatkan Daya Simpan Benih Padi Hibrida

Abstract

This research conducted at Centre for Soil Research, East West Corporation in Purwakarta and Laboratory of Seed Science of Department Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural University. This experiment arranged in Nested plot design with six times period of storage as main a main plot and the subplot is formulation of seed coating (uncoated seed, TDJ-7, TPB3, TD-TM1 and Curcuma flour). The result showed that coated and uncoated seed still had high viability after storage 15 weeks for 3 varieties of hybrid rice seeds (DG-1, SL-8 and INTNANI-2). Methylobacterium spp strain TD-TPB3 and TD-TM1 showed the best coated for hybrid rice seeds.
