Abstract :
The main objective of the study was to
determine the germination performance while it was
exposed to forced environmental condition and [1] To
describe the physiological characteristics characteristics
in recalcitrant of Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) Seed [2] to
determine the tolerable limits and germination
performance if it is still viable and [3] to evaluate the
seedling physiological response while on its individual
treatments as cited under methodology. From the study
conducted, it was revealed that for those seeds exposed to
Moist saw dust showed control to maintain germination
performance even the period of time as it was observed
during 10 days after set-up. The germination
performance of the cacao seed exposed to moist saw dust
found out to have similar output performance with
control treatment, indicating that the seed exposing the
seed to moist saw dust has an influence to preserve the
seeds and extend life-span and remain viable in due time.
With the result, concluded that cacao seeds were wet seeds
because it does not give good germination performance
for the rest of the treatments during 10 days after
exposure except to treatment 4 and 8. On the other hand
for those seeds that were exposed to refrigeration,
germination performance was not comparable to
treatment 8, but the highest quantity of abnormal
seedlings was observed in this treatment.
