Abstract: ROLLAN, WINNIE PERIDO, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, Philippines, April 199B, "Moi8ture Stress and Seed Pretreatment on Germination and Seedling Establishment of Different Varieties of Flint Corn Dr. Julio G. A lava, Adviser. The study involved two series of experiments conducted at Cavite State University from December 1997 to February 1998. The first experiment was done at the A lava-s Residence and other experiment was done in the greenhouse respectively. The study was conducted primarily to determine the effects of different seed pre—treatments and different moisture levels on germination and seedling establishment of different varieties of flint corn. In experiment I, the germination of three varieties of flint corn tested with different seed pre—treatments were studied and evaluated. Results indicated that among the three varieties of flint corn used, UPCA Var. 1 produced the highest percentage germination, most uniform germination time and highest coefficient of germination rate as compared to IPB 911 and IPB 913. Presoaking seeds in water significantly increased the percentage germination and uniformity of germination time as compared to pre—soaking in polyethylene glycol and the control. The interaction between flint corn varieties and different seed pre—treatments on percentage germination and uniformity of germination time was significant. However, the interaction between two factors had no significant effect on the coefficient germination rate (CGR). The second experiment revealed an increase in height and dry matter weight of the seedlings treated with different moisture levels. Results showed that the UPCA var. 1 produced seedlings with highest plant height and dry matter weight as compared to I PB 911 and I PB 913. Likewise, the interaction effects between varieties and different moisture levels on the two parameters were significant. Soil moisture content of 30% significantly increased both the plant height and dry matter weight of the seedlings compared to 20.03% and 25 .86% moisture levels.
