Abstract

Christmas palm seed is one types of seeds that are difficult to germinate. This study aims to determine the effect of coconut water and different growing media on germination of Christmas palm seeds. The experiment was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture screen house, from October 2017 to February 2018. The material used was Christmas palm seeds obtained from the Faculty of Agriculture Experiment Garden, hybrid coconut water, wulung coconut (medicinal coconut) water, soil, red yellow podsolic soil (RYP), manure, and compost. The experimental design used a randomized complete block design consisting of 8 combinations of treatment between immersion with coconut water (hybrid and wulung coconut water and coconut water) with the type of planting media (humus soil, red yellow podsolic soil, mixed soil with manure, and compost). Each experimental unit consisted of 5 pots and was repeated three times. The results showed that the red yellow podsolic soil treatment with wulung coconut water gave the best results on all observed variables. Thus it can be recommended to use coconut water in an effort to accelerate the germination of princess palms.
