Abstract:
peanut seed can not stand long duration of storage due to high content of fat and protein, so
that the quatity of seed become low after storing. To maintain good qualty of seed some efforts must
be done to pievent seed deterioration with lhe us age of dessicanl in storage. The oblectives of lhis
research are to determine the amount of urea as a dessicant and approriate slorage duration toward
peanut seed viability and vigor The research used Comptetely Randomized Design Factorial, Factor
I, Dessicant of three levels ( O%, 10%, and 20%), Factor lt, Storage Duration with 5 Levels (30,60, 90 ,and 120 days). Each combination of treatment was repticated 3 times. Parameters measerud are
seed moisture content, stancJard germination test, index value test, and soil emergence test. The
result of the research concluded that peanut seed with the application of urea dessicant as much as
10% of total weigh of material could maintain seed viability and vigor as long as 120 days
