Abstract
Persistence and Breaking of Local Chilli Seed Dormancy Using Seed Bio-InvigorationTechniques. This study aims to evaluate the persistence of local chilli seed dormancy whileevaluating seed bio-invigoration techniques that effectively break the dormancy of local chilli.The study consisted of two series of experiments, namely: the persistence test of local chilli.seed dormancy (Series 1) was observed descriptively using a germination indicator for severalweeks to reach a germination percentage ≥ 80%. Testing of seed dormancy breakage by seed bio-invigoration technique (Series 2) using a randomized complete design with 3 replicationsand7 treatments namely: no treatment (A0), matriconditioning of husk charcoal powder (SAS) +Bacillus sp. CKD061 (A1), matriconditioning SAS + Pseudomonas sp. TBT214 (A2), red brickpowder matriconditioning (SBM) + Bacillus sp. CKD061 (A3), matriconditioning SBM +Pseudomonas sp. TBT214 (A4), matriconditioning SAS + Bacillus sp. CKD061 + Pseudomonassp. TBT214 (A5), and matriconditioning SBM + Bacillus sp. CKD061 + Pseudomonas sp.TBT214 (A6). The results showed that the persistence of local chilli seed dormant cultivarsKonsel 1 and Konsel 2 cultivars were 6 weeks. While the dormancy break test on the Konsel 1cultivar was 2 weeks at A1 treatment with breaking dormancy of 90.00%. While in Konsel 2cultivar which is 4 weeks in the A6 treatment with breaking dormancy 86.67% which issignificantly different from the control. This study shows that A1 treatment can break dormancyof chilli seeds in Konsel 1 cultivar and A6 treatment in Konsel 2 cultivar.
