![]() ![]() There were differences in seed color, seed size, tannin content, seed hardness, and imbibition rate. The result showed that there were variations of PHS among landraces from 1% to 12%, and variations of seed dormancy rates from 62% to 82%. Seeds were harvested at physiological maturity (130 days after planting) during the beginning of the wet season (early October 2017). Four landraces (Madura, Sukabumi, Brown Sumedang and Tasikmalaya) were planted at the end of May 2017. The objective of this research was to identify seed dormancy and PHS of four bambara groundnut landraces and other related seed characters. Conversely, seed dormancy causes a problem for planting. Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) on bambara groundnut seeds can be found either due to the unpredictable rainfall or the late harvesting and plants are still in the field when rainfall. Therefore, its seed quality is not guaranteed. Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an underutilized crop. Pre-harvest sprouting on high-level seed dormancy of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) landraces.
