Germination and initial growth of true shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) seeds encapsulated with organic and inorganic materials
Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) cultivation is performed using True Shallot Seed (TSS) to obtain seedlings. However, it is difficult to handle when sowing directly, due to the seed’s small and irregular shape. Therefore, encapsulation technology is needed to make TSS seeds have a larger s...

| description | Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) cultivation is performed using True Shallot Seed (TSS) to obtain seedlings. However,
it is difficult to handle when sowing directly, due to the seed’s small and irregular shape. Therefore, encapsulation technology
is needed to make TSS seeds have a larger size and regular shape. Shallots seeds enable to be more significant, roundshaped
through encapsulation. This research was conducted to make a combination treatment between fillers and adhesives
that can form strong, round, and smooth capsules. The fillers studied included gypsum, dolomite, lime, vermicompost,
compost, and sawdust. While the adhesive material is Arabic gum and polyvinyl alcohol. The parameters observed include
viability, germination, vigor index, and maximum growth potential of encapsulated seed were on par with non-encapsulated
in germination and seedling vigor. The results showed that the germination, index vigor, and maximum growth potency of
non-encapsulated TSS were better than the encapsulated ones. Likewise for the percentage of seed alive and up-normal
seed. Furthermore, the organic type of capsule filling material showed better results compared to the inorganic. |
