Peanuts contain high enough nutrients, especially protein and fat. The high fat and protein content in peanut seeds causes deteriorate faster during storage. Special treatment is required to reduce the deterioration. This study aimed to analyze the physiological and biochemical responses of peanut seeds after being stored using silica gel 120 days. This research used a completely randomized design and used the Pearson correlation test. Seeds were stored with different dosages of silica gels: control, 10gr, 20gr, and 30gr. The observed variables consisted of maximum growth potential, germination percentage, vigor index, relative growth speed, growth uniformity, seed water content, fat, and protein seeds. The results showed that storage using silica gel dosage had a significant response on maximum growth potential, germination percentage, vigor index, relative growth speed, and growth uniformity. Using silica gel treatment with a dose of 30g showed better seed viability and vigor values than other treatments. Based on the results of the correlation analysis of seed protein content, there was a strong correlation in the viability and vigor of seeds.
