Abstract
Shallot balb as a plants seed at least have been stored for two months. The storage time which is less or more than the best storage time will influence viability and seedling vigor. The growth regulator substance as an organic chemistry which is not nutrients in the small amount can support or obstruct can change the growth physiology process. This research aims at analysing the effect of immersion time, consentration of growth regulator amountand the length storage of seed balls which which is effective to maintain shallot seed quality. The research findings indicate nitrate calium consantration is less effective in supporting the shallot seed quality. Using the growth regulator substance of sea weeds extract on the concentration of 20 per cent effective in maintaining the shallot seed quality, using bamboo shoot with 20 ml and 30 ml have significant effect towards plant growth whereas the 60 day length of storage tend to give germinating capacity, the number of leaves, the hight of plant of roots volume
