Abstract

Dragon’ss blood (Daemonorops didymophylla)is one of local plants in Jambi Province that has commercial value. However, the existence of this plant is rare due to lack of cultivation by local community because of long period of germination of dragon’s blood seeds (8 months - 1 year). This researches aimed to discover the effect of given natural cyokinins (coconut milk) and synthetic (atonic) towards dragon’s blood germination. Results shows that given synthetic cytokinins (atonic) at 1,5% with soaking period for 48 hours and natural cytokinins (coconut milk) at 75% at 48 hours soaking period able to stimulate fastest germination resulting only two days while soaking period towards dragon’ss blood haveno influence towards germination. The highest germination found on 1% atonic concentration and 75% concentration of coconut milk.
