Title: Seed Dormancy of Ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) seeds

Introduction

Think about what one single seed does for you as a farmer. A single corn
seed that weighs 1/100th of an ounce has the ability to be placed in dirt, germinate,
grow into a plant 7-10+ ft. tall and multiply the grain yield 500 fold. No manmade
machine possesses an equivalent ability to perform a comparable feat. Seeds are
living organisms. Although seed seems to be dead, it is actually in a state of
quiescence. Quiescence means that the seed is at rest until desirable conditions
trigger germination, but it is still alive and respiring at a low metabolic rate.
Respiration rates are kept low by keeping seed in cool environments absent from
moisture, which allows the seed to be kept for years without significant reduction
in viability. Below outlines conditions necessary for successful germination of corn
and soybean seed.
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) produces long edible pods on 3- to 6-foot-
tall plants. It grows as an annual summer annual vegetable and doesn't tolerate
frost. It is hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 2 to 11.
Starting okra plants from seed provides healthy seedlings that will grow into
productive plants. Okra seed germination requires proper treatment and planting to
sprout successfully.
Okra requires moist conditions and soil temperatures between 70 and 95
degrees Fahrenheit to sprout successfully, notes Clemson University Cooperative
Extension Service. The seeds do not require light to germinate, but the new
seedlings must be provided with light soon after germination to grow well.

Although the soil must be moist, overly wet soil may cause the seed to rot
before it can sprout. Okra seed germination time is within 10 to 21 days, notes the
University of Maryland Extension. You can soak the seeds in a bowl of warm
water over night the day before you plant to speed up sprouting.

Objectives:
To determine the effilect of treatment to the ipil-ipil
To know the faster method used on seed dormancy
To know the suited treatment we need to used.

Methodology:
Materials:
180 pcs of seeds of ipil-ipil
Pin
Water
Hot water
Plastic
Tissue

Procedure:
In every treatment have 3 replication. For the T0 , soak 60 seeds in a warm
water for about 10 minutes then after that put it in the tissue and roll it then put it in
the clear plastic then tie. T1 pin the 60 seeds then soak in a warm water for 10
minutes then after that put it in the tissue and roll it then put it in the clear plastic
then tie. And for the T2 soak the 60 seeds in a hot water for 10 minutes then after
that put it in the tissue and roll it then put it in the clear plastic then tie.

% Germination = No. of normal sedlings x100
Total no. of seeds sown

Percent Germination
Treatment
Replication Average
1 2 3
T0- Control 3 2 5 16.67 %

T1- Piercing 5 8 6 31.67 %


with the use of
a pin
T2- Soaking 6 3 5 23.33 %
in hot water
( 500C) for 10
minutes
Base on my observation T1 gained the highest seeds grow using Pin as a
treatment with an average of 31.67 % . While the T2 gained 2nd to the highest use
with hit water with an average of 23.33% and the T0 gaind the lowest percentage
of seeds grow with an average of 16.67%.
