The effect of seed treatment with botanicals was evaluated on storability of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill). Seeds treated with fenugreek seed powder, leaf powders of ashwagandha, tea and noni (ball milled for 1 h) @ 2 g kg-1 with 60 min shaking and stored in cloth bag for 6 months under ambient conditions. Seeds were evaluated for physiological parameters such as speed of germination, germination per cent, root length, shoot length, vigour index and dry matter production and for biochemical parameter the electrical conductivity at monthly interval. Results revealed that seed dressing with fenugreek seed powder manifested the physiological parameters at higher order with lesser electrical. Hence seed dry dressing with fenugreek seed powder obtained on ball milling for 1 h @ 2g per kg of seed maintained the germination and vigour in storage .

Aged Seeds

Changes occurring in seed during aging are very significant for determining seed quality, i.e. seed longevity. An experiment was conducted in Department of Seed Science and Technology, TNAU, Coimbatore to standardize suitable seed dry dressing treatments, using near nano size botanicals that can alleviate the deleterious effect of accelerated ageing and to improve the enzyme activities of soybean aged seeds. Five days aged seeds were treated with 1 h ball milled fenugreek seed powder, leaf powders of ashwagandha, tea and noni @ 2 g kg-1 with 60 min. shaking and evaluated for enzyme activities and field emergence (naturally and artificially aged seeds). Among the treatments seeds treated with fenugreek seed powder has the highest dehydrogenase activity (OD 10 min-1), protein (%), oil content (%), catalase activity, peroxidase activity (OD 10 min-1) (µg H2O2 mg-1min-1) with minimum values of electrical conductivity (dSm-1), free fatty acid (%), lipid peroxidation (OD value), lipoxygenase activity (g mol s-1 mg-1). Field emergence (%) was also higher in fenugreek seed powder treated seeds (2 g kg-1 with 60 min).

Glycine Max L

The legume seed coat is the site of sucrose unloading and the metabolism of imported ureides and synthesis of amino acids for the developing embryo. The cell types directly responsible for these functions in the seed coat are not known. We recently described a convex layer of tissue on the inside surface of the soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seed coat that was termed “antipit” because it was in direct opposition to the concave pit on the abaxial surface of the cotyledon. Cone cells of the antipit contained numerous hypertrophied Golgi apparatus and laminated rough endoplasmic reticulum common to actively secreting cells. The initial report by Dzikowski (1936) described the morphology of the pit and antipit in G. max and found these structures in only 68 of the 169 seed accessions examined.

Penelitian tentang pengaruh pemberian Pupuk organik cair (POC) asal limbah tumbuhan terhadap serapan hara N dan P serta produksi tanaman kedelai (Glycine max (L) Merrill) di lahan gambut telah dilaksanakan di kampus II Unisi Fakultas Pertanian Jl. Lintas Propinsi Parit 01, Desa Pulau Palas, Kecamatan Tembilahan Hulu, Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir Propinsi Riau. Dimulai dari bulan Agustus sampai bulan Oktober 2013. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan POC asal limbah tumbuhan yang terbaik untuk serapan hara N dan P serta produksi tanaman kedelai di lahan gambut. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) faktor tunggal dengan 7 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan, 2 tanaman dijadikan sampel. Perlakuan dosis POC limbah tanaman pisang dan POC limbah sayur kol yang diberikan yaitu 0 L/Ha, 200 L/Ha, 400 L/Ha dan 600 L/Ha. Parameter pengamatan yaitu : serapan hara N dan P pada fase awal generatif, tinggi tanaman, jumlah bintil akar, polong hampa, produksi perplot, berat 100 biji dan brangkasan kering. Data pengamatan dianalisis dengan sidik ragam (ANOVA) dan dilanjutkan dengan Uji Lanjut Tukey HSD pada taraf 5%. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian POC asal limbah tumbuhan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap serapan hara N dan P, tinggi tanaman, jumlah bintil akar, polong hampa, brangkasan kering tetapi berpengaruh nyata terhadap produksi perplot dan berat 100 biji.
