Abstract The obstacles that farmers face by using the True Shallot Seed (TSS) due to germination ability. In a laboratory level, application of bio-stimulants was tested enhance TSS germination. Two types namely Bio A and B with 16 treatment were TSS. Hypocotyl length, speed seed germination, percentage, seedling growth rate, number dead seeds abnormal seeds, fungi-infected bacteria-infected al...

Rapid, non-destructive single-seed compositional analyses are useful for many areas of crop science, including breeding and genetics. Seeds are sometimes unique and require preservation due to small samples, which necessitates development of methods for total non-destructive measurement. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used for non-destructive single-seed composition predic...

In order to upgrade the local method of processing the seed it is necessary to collate basic data on physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the seed and pod as evaluated using standard methods. The length, breadth and thickness of the pods were 12.29 mm, 8.28 mm and 4.44 mm respectively while that of seed were 4.36 mm, 3.46 mm and 1.37 mm respectively. Seed weight, bulk density, true d...

Management of True Seed Shallot (TSS) production is an important part supporting Indonesia shallot seed availability. It should involve various parties such as governments, privates, and farmers to guarantee TSS quality quantity TSS. The study aims identify governments' farmers' preferences toward institutional model in Indonesia. was undertaken East Java from March August 2016. Twenty-eight re...
