ABSTRAK Jagung pulut merupakan salah satu bahan pokok selain beras yang dapat mendukung diversifikasi dan industri pangan. Rendahnya ketersediaan benih bermutu membuat jagung pulut memiliki tingkat produktivitas yang rendah dan sulit berkembang dalam skala luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pengaruh kondisi ruang simpan dan bahan pengemas terhadap mutu benih jagung pulut. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan split plot. Petak utama berupa perlakuan kondisi ruang simpan yang terdiri dari ruang kamar, ruang AC, dan kulkas. Anak petak berupa kemasan simpan yang terdiri dari 4 taraf yaitu kaleng tin, alumunium foil, plastik PP, dan karung plastik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan yang terbaik untuk mempertahankan mutu fisik dan mutu fisiologis yaitu pada suhu dan kelembapan rendah (ruang AC dan kulkas) dengan menggunakan bahan pengemas kaleng tin dan plastik PP. Interaksi perlakuan antara kondisi ruang simpan kamar dan bahan pengemas karung plastik tidak mampu mempertahankan daya berkecambah (DB) hingga akhir penyimpanan (4 bulan).  ABSTRACT Sticky corn is a staple ingredient other than rice that can support diversification and the food industry. The low availability of quality seeds means that corn has a low level of productivity and is difficult to develop on a wide scale. This research aims to determine the influence of storage room conditions and packaging materials on the quality of sticky corn seeds. This research used a split plot design. The main plot was a treatment of the condition of the storage room which consists of the bedroom, AC room and refrigerator. The subplot was in the form of storage packaging consisting of 4 levels, namely tin cans, aluminum foil, PP plastic and plastic sacks. The results of the research showed that the best treatment to maintain physical quality and physiological quality was at low temperature and humidity (AC room and refrigerator) using packaging materials such as tin cans and PP plastic. The treatment interaction between the storage room conditions and the plastic sack packaging material was unable to maintain germination capacity (DB) until the end of storage (4 months). ÂReferences
