THE GERMINATION OF SALAK (Salacca zalacca) SEEDS WITH CHEMICAL SCARIFICATION TREATMENT

This study aims to determine the effect of KNO3, H2SO4, and GA3 in breaking dormancy germination salak (Salacca zalacca) plants. In this using a non-factorial randomized block design with one factor, namely P0 (control), P1 (KNO3 60%), P2 70%), P3 80%), P4 (H2SO4 P5 P6 P7 (GA3 25 ppm), P8 50 P9 75 P10 60% P11 70% P12 80% P13 P14 P15 75). Parameters observed were germination, maximum growth potential, plant height, 
 number leaves, leaf length, width. Based on results DMRT test at 5% level, it showed that each treatment had an chemical scarification showing significant However, did not have leaves 12 WAP, width 11 WAP. Keywords: Plant Height, Leaves, Leaf Width
