Abstract: DANQUE, RONALD D. Applied Research IV (Agricultural Science Curriculum), Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, Moreh 1991, po aratne ion and Field Emergence of Pigeon Pea (Cajanus Cajan Linn.) As Affected by Different Seed Treatments. Adviser: Mr. Josefino A. Viado The study entitled "GERMINATION AND FIELD EMERGENCE OF PIGEON PEA AS AFFECTED BY DIFFERENT SEED TREATMENTS" was conducted at the Reading Rooms Basement (Phase I) and at the back of the Agricultural Science building (Phase IT) from February 13 to March 4, 1991 with the following objectives: (1) to determine the effect of different seed treatments on the germination and field emergence of pigeon pea seeds, and (2) to evaluate whether laboratory germination and field emergence are influenced by seed storage and different scarification treatments. Highly significant results were obtained in all the parameters of the study including the percentage germination, number of germinated seeds four days after sowing (lab. germination), number of germinated seeds five days after sowing (field germination), number of germinated seeds seven days after sowing (laboratory germination), number of germinated seeds eight days after sowing (field germination), average length of the plumule (in om.) both at laboratory germination and at field emergence. It was proven in the study that soaking seeds in tap water for 2 hours is the best treatment in enhancing the germination of pigeon pea seeds and promoting early growth. Likewise, soaking seeds in hot water- 50°C for 30 minutes (T,) and sand papering for 10 and 20 minutes (To, T3; respectively) could also be used for pigeon pea germination. Such treatments promote germination by weakening the seed coat, allowing water and oxygen absorption necessary in the activation of enzymes that transform stored food in the seed into energy and chemical compounds which are used for cell division and elongation.
