Abstract

Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a tropical fruit plant with high economic value and is generally propagated vegetatively through grafting techniques using scions. The success of propagation and the quality of the resulting plants are largely determined by the characteristics of the tree selected as the scion source. The purpose of this study is to describe the morphological characteristics of avocado mother trees that need to be considered in the selection of scion sources through observation and systematic literature studies from various publications. The morphological study was based on observations of mother trees in Tubo Village and analyzed descriptively by tabulating quantitative data. The results of the study indicate that the ideal tree selected as a scion source must meet morphological criteria in the stem, leaves, branches, and visual health of the plant. The tree trunk shows vigorous growth with balanced branching. The leaves have a distinctive shape, size, and color according to the variety and are free from pathogen symptoms. Branches used as scion sources are young branches with a diameter of 0.5-1 cm, have undergone complete growth, have healthy buds, and come from parts of the plant with high productivity. Selection of mother trees based on appropriate morphological characteristics is the first step in providing quality scions to ensure the success of avocado propagation and productivity.

Abstract

Maba bananas (Musa spp.), locally known as tele mobon, are a unique banana variety from East Halmahera Regency. They are becoming increasingly difficult to find and are at risk of local extinction due to limited cultivation efforts and scientific documentation. This study aims to identify the geographic distribution, population size, and cultivation status of Maba bananas in the region. Methods: The study was conducted over three months (July-September) in five sub-districts and 11 villages in East Halmahera Regency. A descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative approach was used, with respondents determined through snowball sampling. Data were collected through direct field observation and interviews with key informants. Results: The study showed that Maba bananas are distributed in lowland ecosystems at elevations between 7 and 97 meters above sea level. A total population of 148 individuals was identified, growing in 36 clumps. The highest population was found in Pekaulang Village (25 individuals), while the lowest population was in Titipa Village (4 individuals). Based on growth phase, the population was predominantly vegetative (145 individuals), with only three individuals in the generative phase. Most of these bananas are grown through community cultivation, but some clumps grow wild without regular maintenance.
