Breaking Seed Dormancy: Effect of Heat and Vimpel® on Oil Palm Seed Germination (EIaeis guineensis Jacq)

Oil palm (E. guineensis) is native to Africa and among highest oilseeds crop in the world, having a dormant seeds which require pre-treatments quicken germination process. The objective of this experiment evaluate effects Vimpel growth regulator on seedlings. viable oil were treated with vimpel solution at different stages process tagged as A (+ before heat), B (+Vimpel after C without heat) D (0 vimpel) E prior F (Water heating/Control) then subjected six temperature regime i.e. 2,4,6,8, 10 12 weeks chamber. result indicates that group had percentage heat treatment followed by 8 while (control) lowest percentage. Conclusively, has significant facilitating 40 days against 80 currently use seed germination.
