Abstract

The cocoa problem in Indonesia was that around 50% of cocoa are old plant, they need more superior seeds to rehabilitation and replanting. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of coconut water  soaking time on cocoa ( Theobroma  cacao L.) seed. This study was conducted in Laboratory, Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian, Medan. The study used completely randomized design non factorial. It was soaked time were P1 (6 hours), P2 (12 hours) and P3 (18 hours). The results indicated that germination and growth of cocoa seed showed significant effect on plant height, number of leaf, stem diameter. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the combination of soaking time seed  and germination time of cocoa seeds to improve its nutritional values
