Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of giberrelin (GA3) storage duration
and treatment on the viability of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) seeds carried out at the
Laboratory of Indonesian Center for Seedling and Plant Protection (BBPPTP) Surabaya
on Mojoagung No. No. 52, Mojoagung Subdistrict, Jombang Regency in February to
April 2014. This study used a completely randomized design with factorial patterns with
2 factors. The first factor is the storage time which consists of 4 stages P1 (7 days of
natural storage of seeds), P2 (14 days of storage of natural seeds), P3 (22 days of storage
of natural seeds), and P4 (29 days of storage of natural seeds). The second factor is
invigoration treatment which consists of 3 types without treatment (I0), GA3 10 ppm
(I1), GA3 20 ppm (I2). The results showed a significant interaction between storage time
and invigoration treatment of plant height and germination capacity, storage duration
treatment affected the variable number of leaves, 7 days storage time (P1) produced the
average number of leaves (3.75 strands) even though the result is the same as the storage
period of 14 days (P2). While the invigoration treatment had no effect on the observation
variable of the number of leaves.
