Indigofera zollingeriana is shruby legumes becomes a popular high quality forage
sources to improve ruminant animal productivity in Indonesia. Problem of Indigofera
development is mainly due to low seed availability. The main obstacle of seed
management that influences seed stock is storage. This experiment was set up to find
out the appropriate combination level of carbon dioxide and storage time of
Indigofera seed. The experiment used factorial completely randomized design (4x3)
with four replications. The first factor was four level of CO2 injection consisting of
A0= 0%, A1= 10%, A2= 20% and A3= 30% and the second factor was the period of
time storage composed of: B0= 0 week, B1= 1 week and B2= 2 weeks. Observations
were done at 3 different times, when the age of the sprout were 4, 7 and 14
observation days. The result showed that interaction between CO2 injection and
storage time significantly influenced (P
