    The Effect of Seed Immersion Duration on Membrane Leakage and Maize Seed Vigor (Zea mays L.)
    (Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Pertanian, 2013) Oom Komalasari; Ramlah Arief
    Electric Conductivity test determines indirectly the integrity of seed membrane systems. It is used to assess seed vigor as this test detects the seed deterioration process at early stage. The objective of this reasearch was to evaluate the effects of seed immersion duration (30, 60, 90, 120, 720, and 1440 minutes) on membrane leakage and vigor of four maize varieties’ seed lots; Lamuru, Srikandi Putih, Bisma, Srikandi Kuning. Completely radomized design with four replications was used to arrange the experiment. The result of the experiment showed that as the duration of seed immersion longer; the membrane leakage was higher in all seed lots tested. The high amount of membrane leakage indicates the decrease of seed vigor.
