Abstract

The commercial development of Cavendish bananas still faces many obstacles, including the availability of seedlings/suckers at low prices, so technological substitution is needed to stimulate the growth of Cavendish banana suckers in the form of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) biological agents. The research aims to determine the correlation between AM doses and colonization levels, tissue nutrient concentrations, and photosynthetic pigments in Cavendish banana seedlings/suckers. It is also a novelty in this research study. The research was carried out in Parepare city at coordinates 3°59'30.204" S; 119°38'42.936" E using four AM doses as independent variables, namely 0 g, 5 g, 10 g, and 15 g pot-1.  The variables observed (dependent variables) were the level of colonization, nutrient concentration in the tissue, and photosynthetic pigment content. Using Microsoft Excel software, statistical tests, regression, and correlation analyses were conducted to see the relationship between treatment (independent variable) and observed parameters (dependent variable). The research showed that AM dosage was positively correlated with the level of root colonization, the concentration of N, P, and K elements in the tissue, and the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids). A dose AM of 15 g pot-1 gave a better effect on Cavendish banana suckers, which can be recommended for the development of Cavendish banana seedlings.

Abstract

Kacang hijau (Vigna radiata L) tergolong salah satu komoditi yang resisten terhadap cekaman kekeringan. Meski demikian, kacang hijau juga memiliki periode kritis khususnya pada periode perkecambahan, menjelang berbunga dan pengisian polong. Peningkatan serapan air dan unsur hara di lahan kering dan kurang subur dapat dilakukan dengan mengaplikasikan agen hayati vesikula arbuskula mikoriza (VAM). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon pertumbuhan kacang hijau akibat VAM pada berbagai bentuk sediaan dan diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan informasi pada masyarakat mengenai pemanfaatan VAM dalam berbagai bentuk sediaan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Bukit Harapan, Kecamatan Soreang Kota Parepare, Sulawesi Selatan pada ketinggian 37 m dpl dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) satu faktor yaitu aplikasi VAM dalam bentuk sediaan tablet, shazet dan serbuk. Peubah yang diukur adalah panjang akar, volume akar, tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan berat kering. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk sediaan VAM memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap peubah panjang akar, volume akar, tinggi tanaman dan berat kerig tanaman kacang hijau. Sehingga bentuk sediaan tablet dan sachet dapat direkomendasikan sebagai bentuk sediaan alternatif untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan kacang hijau di area pertanaman.

Abstract

Brazilian spinach (Alternanthera sissoo) is a leafy vegetable with nonfunctional seeds that inhibit sexual reproduction. Although vegetative propagation by cuttings is a feasible solution, information on the quality of cuttings suitable for vegetative propagation of Brazilian spinach remains limited. Therefore, research is required to determine Brazilian spinach's growth, production, and chlorophyll content from various cutting sources. The study was carried out in the screen house laboratory in Parepare City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, from October 2023 to March 2024, using a randomized block design (RBD) with three treatments of cutting types, namely shoot cuttings (control/K1), rooted stem cuttings (K2), and stem cuttings. (K3). The data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's Test. The results showed that A. sissoo growth from cuttings consistently followed the Sigmoid growth pattern. Brazilian spinach propagated from stem cutting produced higher fresh and dry shoot weight, fresh and dry root weight, nitrogen, and chlorophyll content than those of shoot and rooted-stem cuttings. Stem cuttings likely have a more developed vascular system and greater nutrient reserves, making them more likely to develop roots successfully than other cutting materials. Furthermore, stem cuttings likely contain more carbohydrates and hormones like auxin, which promote faster root formation than shoot or rooted-stem cuttings. Stem cuttings are recommended for use in propagating Brazilian spinach.
