Fine Bubbles Utilization to Increase Germination Rate of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis L. Jacq) Seeds

The current method to break oil palm seed dormancy is the dry heat which requires approximately 90 days for seeds germinate with an average germination percentage. Therefore, hastening process a higher ratio of germinated becomes necessary. This experiment aims hasten and increase percentage by applying fine bubble water during dormancy-breaking process. A lot derived from one bunch as replication divided into two sets where fiber plugs are removed while other set remains intact. Each was re-divided six experimental units soaked tap or 1 3 days. result showed that provided better rate than treatments. However, total between all treatments does not differ significantly. peak in occurred on 26 th day, 8 faster occurrence potential use application breaking using method.
