PENGARUH BERBAGAI METODE PRIMING TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KUALITAS BENIH DAN PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN SWISS CHARD (Beta vulgaris Subs. Cicla) DI DAERAH URBAN

---

Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris Subs. Cicla) is a vegetable crop that is ideal for cultivation in urban areas. The main challenge faced is inhibited of seed growth. One measure that can be made to improve seed quality is priming treatment. The research aims to improve the quality of Swiss chard seeds that have experienced a decline in quality and to determine the extent of its effect on plant growth. The research was conducted at the Plant Physiology Laboratory and Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Crop Cultivation, Sriwijaya University. The research period spanned from September to November 2025. The research was carried out in two stages: germination and growth. During germination and growth, the research method used was the Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 4 treatments: soaking in plain water (P0), soaking in warm water (P1), soaking in shallot extract (P2), and soaking in coconut water extract (P3). In the germination stage, each treatment unit consisted of 20 seeds and was repeated 5 times, resulting in 400 seeds, while in the growth stage, each treatment unit consisted of 3 plants and was repeated 3 times, resulting in 36 plants. Based on the results of the research, priming treatment with shallot extract immersion was able to improve seed quality, as indicated by a high vigor index value of 641.66 and a sprout growth percentage of 97%. Priming had a significant effect on the early stages of germination, but did not have a significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, root length, fresh weight, dry weight, and total leaf area of swiss chard plants.
