Abstract
Arena (Arenga pinnata Merr) is one of the plants included in NTFPs (Non-TimberForest Products) that has benefits for all parts of the plant. One of the factors that affects seedgermination is the storage medium. Sawdust is one of the commonly used storage media becausesawdust has the ability to store water and maintain humidity around seeds. This study aims todetermine the effect of sawdust storage media on the germination of arena seeds. This researchwas conducted from Mai to August 2022 in Pong Murung Village, Ruteng District, ManggaraiRegency. The experimental device used was a completely randomized device (CRD) using asingle factor, namely storage time (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, weeks). The results showed that seed storagetime had a very significant effect on research parameters, including seed moisture content,germination percentage, and germination rate. Storage for 2 weeks is a storage that has adifferent effect from other storage periods for the parameters of germination percentage andgermination rate.
