Abstract

Vegetative seed production is an alternative for propagating the Mexican Sword Plant, apart from generative propagation using seeds. The vegetative seeds of this plant are unique because they are produced from the development of compound flower stalks (inflorescence). The use of vegetative shoots that appear on the flower stalks of the Mexican Sword Plant is an attractive and efficient alternative in producing seeds for this plant. Apart from that, research on vegetative production is urgent in increasing the production and availability of Mexican Sword Plant seeds. This research was carried out for three months. The study aimed to determine the potential for vegetative seed production of the Mexican Sword Plant-sourced from the shoots of compound flower stalks or inflorescences, which includes the number of main inflorescence axes formed, the number of inflorescence stalks that produce branches, the number of nodes formed on the primary axis inflorescence, the number of buds formed both on the central axis and on the branches of the inflorescence. This research is a descriptive study with observations carried out in the experimental greenhouse of the Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Payakumbuh, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The parental data was obtained from the results of previous vegetative seed propagation, which was approximately two years old and had been repotted with 30 plants. The media used is a mixture of rice field mud and cow manure using a pot with a diameter of 30 cm. Based on the research that has been carried out, it is known that the central axis of inflorescences formed are 81 inflorescences, 30% each with two inflorescences and 70% with three inflorescences. Five hundred seventy-two nodes (nodes) formed on the central axis, and 488 nodes on the inflorescence branches. The total number of shoots formed was 741, and the average shoots per planting were 25.

Abstract

Cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L. ) adalah tanaman unggulan yang bernilai jual cukup tinggi. Pertumbuhan tanaman cabai rawit baik bila ditanam pada lingkungan yang optimal. Di Pekanbaru, tanaman cabai rawit belum tumbuh optimal karena kondisi lingkungan dan tanah yang kurang baik untuk budidaya. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan vegetatif diperlukan pemberian nitrogen dalam jumlah yang cukup. Salah satu pupuk dengan kandungan nitrogen yang cukup tinggi adalah pupuk cair Ajifol. Pupuk ini merupakan salah satu limbah hasil samping proses amino industri monosodium glutamat (MSG) dan memiliki kandungan nitrogen sebesar 10%. Percobaan ini mempunyai tujuan untuk 1) mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pupuk cair Ajifol terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman cabai rawit. 2) Mendapatkan dosis pupuk cair Ajifol yang terbaik untuk menghasilkan pertumbuhan tanaman cabai rawit. Kegiatan dimulai pada bulan Maret sampai Mei 2023. Percobaan dilakukan di P4S Pemuri, Tebing Tinggi Okura, Kecamatan Rumbai Pesisir, Kota Pekanbaru, Riau. Perlakuan yang dilakukan pada percobaan ini adalah 1) P0 : Tanpa menggunakan pupuk Ajifol cair, 2) P1 : Pupuk cair Ajifol 2 ml/liter air, 3) P2 : Pupuk cair Ajifol 4 ml/liter air, 4) P3 : Ajifol cair pupuk 6 ml/liter air. Parameter pengamatan percobaan ini yaitu tinggi tanaman, lebar dan jumlah daun. Hasil percobaan yang dilakukan memperlihatkan bahwa penggunaan pupuk cair Ajifol pada cabai rawit memberikan perlakuan terbaik pada P1 (2 ml/liter air) rata-rata untuk tinggi tanaman 21,8 cm, rata-rata lebar daun 2,4 cm dan jumlahnya 10,4 helai. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, disarankan untuk menanam cabai rawit dengan pupuk cair Ajifol dengan dosis 2 ml/liter air untuk mendapatkan hasil pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman cabai rawit yang optimal.
