Abstract

The formulation of the problem in this study is how is the effect of giving coconut woter solution
concetration on the growth power of Kaliandra? This study aims to determine the effect and optimal dosage
of coconut water solvent for increasing germination of Kaliandra seeds ( Calliandra calothyrsus ). The study
was conducted at Pusat Persemaian Permanen Fatukoa BPDASHL Benain Noelmina for one month from
February to March 2022. The method used was a fully randomized design (factorial CR) with 3 treatments
and 1 control and 5 replicates. Treatments in this study included L0 (control) 0% concentration (mineral
water), L1 25% concentration (coconut water 250 ml + distilled water 750 ml), L2 50% concentration (coconut
water 500 ml + 500 ml water), L3 concentration 75% (Coconut water 750 ml + Aquades 250 ml). The data
obtained were further tested using Analysis of variance with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (level 5%). The
results showed that the concentration of the coconut water solvent had a very significant impact on the
germination power and germination value of seeds, but no significant impact on the germination rate index of
seeds with 50% concentration L2 treatment (coconut water 500ml + 500ml Aquades) as optimal dose
concentration with increasing germination of Kaliandra ( Calliandra calothyrsus ) seeds.
