Rubbing the seed with sandpaper can break the dormancy as well as it can also break and kill the seed. Soaking the seeds in hot water can also break the hardness of the coat of the seed and then can also kill the developing parts of the seeds of the plant.Clipping can be considered as an effective way of breaking the dormancy of the seed therefrom in some unexpected ways or inaccurate work, the seeds may be damaged and may not frivol away. Table 3. 1 solution of initial moisture surfeit on the storability of rice seeds I. Effect of initial moisture content on the storability of rice seeds Treatment % Germination R E P L I C A T I O N 1 2 Average afterward 3 long time After 7 days After 3 days After 7 days 11% moisture content 12% 12% 16% 20% moisture content 0% 16% 0% 12% 14%The results accommodate shown that the rice seed treated with 11% moisture content have higher percent of germination as compared with the rice seed treated with 20% moisture content. Rice seeds are known to be an orthodox font of seeds. Jewish-Orthodox type of seeds are seeds which are needed to be stored with low moisture content under conditions at low temperatur e and low humidity. This means that in order to attain and make the seeds germinate these seeds must be keep at low moisture content. Table 3. 2 Storability of recalcitrant seeds Treatment % Germination after maven week Freshly extracted 80%Stored for one week 0% The results have shown that the cacao seeds which are freshly extracted have higher percent of germination as compared with the cacao seeds stored for one week. chocolate tree seeds are known to be recalcitrant type of seeds. This means that this type of seeds should have been planted after they are extracted. These seeds should not be stored ample to attain a high percent of germination. Since the seeds are stored for seven days or one week the seeds will no longer germinate because it has already dried up and this type of seed must be stored without reduction in their moisture.
