Abstract

Seeds are the beginning of plant life, for this reason the use of quality and quality seeds and having superior genetic traits are needed to support the growth and development of plants to be better and provide maximum production. The purpose of this study is to obtain local upland rice cultivars that have quality seeds and quality with the best germination and traits that have superior genetic. This research was carried out at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University. When the study began in November to December 2019. This study was compiled using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven cultivars as treatments namely, Pulu tau leru, Pulu Konta, Delima, Buncaili, Jahara, Uva buya and Pae Bohe. Each treatment was repeated four times. The parameters observed were, maximum growth potential, germination capacity, germination time, and dry weight of sprouts. The results showed that the Uva buya cultivar had the best germination because it produced the maximum growth potential (100.00%) and the best germination (99.50%) and the faster germination time (2.03 days). Dry weight of sprouts is a trait that has good genetic character because it has a high heritability value (91.28%).
