Abstract

Porang plant is atubers that havevarious benefits. Porang cultivation needs intensive management through cultivation efforts which of course must be supported by the availability of seeds. Therefore, it is necessary to procure porang seeds from vegetative (tubers) and generative (stem bulbil and branch bulbil). This study aims to obtain the best growing media for porang germination from various types of bulbil. The method used in this study was a factorial randomized block design. The way of working in this research is: Preparation of Seedling Media, Preparation of planting material (Bulbil), Seeding, Maintenance (including watering and weeding). The results showed that there was no significant interaction between the planting medium and the type of bulbil, the media had no significant effect on all observed variables, while the bulbil had a significant effect on the percentage of germination growth, stem height, and number of leaves. The best type of bulbil for breeding is stem bulbil which is superior to the variables of plumule emergence time, petiole length, stem height, and number of leaves compared to branch bulbil. Meanwhile, the best growing media in porang nurseries was a mixture of 50% husk charcoal + 50% sawdust on the variables when the plumule appeared, the percentage of germination, petiole length and stem height. The appearance of bulbil from stems on a mixture of 50% husk charcoal + 50% sawdust media, namely the time of emergence of plumules (5.61 days), percentage of sprouting (86.67%), petiole length (8.72 cm), height stems (31.11 cm) and number of leaves (7.72 strands).

Abstract

The intercroping area (IC) is around 0.5 ha from one hectare of mature oil palm (YH). The research aimed to observe the growth and yield of corn from the Bisi 16 variety in oil palm plantations from the SJ 5 variety and the effect of corn as IC on oil palm. The research location was in Mesuji Raya Sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir, South Sumatra, from April 2024 to July 2024. The interspace number of oil palm of 1 ha were 12  and it was six interspaces as the object research was as frond staking. The research method used was non-experimental.  Each of front staking had two sample plots of corn (3×3 m), and samples  selected for each plot were 15 crops.  For oil palm (8×8×8 m) two samples of crops were beside the corn plot.  The total of  oil palm samples was 24 crops from oil palm IC, and compared to 24 crops from  monoculture.  The research results showed that the growth of IC corn was lower for plant height (16%), and the reduction in corn yield (26%) from one ha compared to the description. The total  yield from corn IC was approximately 2.09 tons of corn shells, which were lower from monoculture description. The growth and yield of oil palm IC were better than monoculture, with an increase a number of fruit bunches (9%) and FFB weight (11%).  Corn is an intercrop/polyculture crop in oil palm plantations after one or two years of production.
