Abstract

The coastal region of Lebak-Banten is an area with a relatively high population of buffalo. The forage requirement has relied on existing forage with low productivity and quality. The study aimed to investigate the physiological, morphological, and nutritional response of mutant benggala grass in the coastal area and to develop salt-tolerant forage crops with high productivity and nutritive value for livestock. The research was conducted in the Binuangeun coastal area, Muara Village, Wanasalam District, Lebak Regency, located at 6°50’34.4”S and 105°53’23.4”E. This study used a completely randomized block design with a factorial arrangement with 5 replications. The first factor consisted of 4 benggala grass mutants: mutant 12, 18, 36, 56, and a control. The second factor was the location or distance of the planting plots from the coastline (FC), consisting of L1: 50 m FC, L2: 75 m FC, L3: 100 m FC, and L4: 500 m FC, representative of low, moderate, and high salinity levels, and no saline. Observations were made during the dry and rainy seasons. The results showed that mutants 12 and 36 had higher fresh forage production during the rainy season, while mutant 36 had the highest forage production at the L1 location (high salinity conditions) during the dry season. Mutant 12 had higher crude protein values at the L2 location (moderate salinity) than the other mutants and locations (salinity levels) during the dry season. Meanwhile, mutant 18 at the L2 location (moderate salinity) had the highest crude protein value during the rainy season. In addition, mutant 12 had a high proline value at the L1 location (high salinity stress) as a plant adaptation response to salinity stress. The study suggests that mutants 12 and 36 have great potential to be developed into new salt-tolerant forage crop cultivars and can be grown in coastal areas of Lebak-Banten.

Abstract

Rumput benggala merupakan tanaman pakan ternak (TPT) yang banyak digunakan oleh peternak di Indonesia. Pengembangan budidaya TPT selalu diarahkan pada lahan marjinal atau sub optimal. Lahan kering masam merupakan lahan marjinal yang cukup luas di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat karakter morfologi dan produktivitas kultivar rumput benggala di tanah kering masam. Penelitian dilakukan di rumah kaca Balai Penelitian Ternak Ciawi selama 10 bulan, menggunakan tiga kultivar rumput benggala (kultivar Petrie, Gatton dan Natsuyutaka). Kultivar tersebut ditanam di dua jenis tanah yaitu tanah kering masam (pH 4.5) dan tidak masam (pH 7.10) pada pot berdiameter 40 cm dan tinggi 30 cm. Rancangan percobaan adalah rancangan acak lengkap faktorial dengan 10 ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah jenis tanah dan faktor kedua adalah kultivar rumput benggala. Peubah yang diamati yaitu karakter morfologi, umur berbunga, produksi biji dan produksi hijauan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa karakter morfologi seperti panjang daun, panjang ruas, diameter batang, panjang bunga dipengaruhi oleh jenis kultivar (P<0.05) dan tidak dipengaruhi oleh jenis tanah (P>0.05). Produktivitas rumput dipengaruhi jenis tanah (P<0.05). Produktivitas semua kultivar rumput benggala yang diuji menurun pada tanah kering masam, sehingga dikategorikan sebagai kultivar tidak toleran terhadap lahan kering masam. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan kegiatan pemuliaan untuk memperoleh kultivar rumput benggala toleran di lahan kering masam. Kata kunci: produksi, suboptimal, tanaman pakan
