Abstract

The moringa plant (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is a member of the Moringaceae family that grows in Indonesia. Moringa plants have many benefits, both as a source of food, medicine, and cosmetics. The development of moringa plants in Indonesia has not been carried out because it is still constrained by the absence of a mother tree and a source of moringa seed gardens. This study aims to identify morphological characters and production potential in two populations of moringa plants. The research was conducted in August 2021 in East Flores District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The research was conducted by determining the selected mother tree (SMT), observing morphological characters, and seed production. Exploration of selected parent trees was carried out using a survey method on two moringa plant populations in Tiwatobi and Harubala villages. Observations of plant morphological characters were carried out on quantitative and qualitative characters. The production potential is carried out by estimating the production of moringa seeds in each population. The results showed that there were 19 SMTs in the first population and 29 SMTs in the second population. There are 27 morphological characters that have been observed, with the potential for seed production in each population of 314,554 seeds and 529,538 seeds per year.Keywords: moringa, morphology, mother tree, seed, population

Abstract

Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as lemongrass, is a perennial herb widely cultivated for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic industries. This research investigates the morphological characterization and potential yield of different lemongrass lines. The study involved the collection of diverse lemongrass genotypes from various geographic regions in Indonesia. The research was conducted using a randomized block design with three replications. Morphological character observations encompass both quantitative and qualitative characters of plants. Morphological characteristics such as plant height, leaf length and width, stem diameter, and number of tillers were measured to assess the variations among the genotypes. The results revealed considerable variability in the morphological traits among the lemongrass. Plant height ranged from 102.28 to 158.96 cm, while stem length and diameter varied between 26.11 to 42.61 cm and 8.99 to 19.68 cm, respectively. The number of tillers per plant ranged from 7.59 to 49.41. Moreover, the essential oil content varied from 0.07% to 0.26% (v/w). According to correlation analysis, the stem's diameter and the leaf's width positively correlate with the essential oil content. As a result, we can continue to develop the Sukabumi local line to maximize biomass and essential oil yields.
