Abstract

Background: Mentik Wangi, a traditional aromatic rice variety, faces challenges such as prolonged growth duration and lodging susceptibility, limiting its productivity. The study aimed to evaluate the yield potential and identify high-performing mutant lines of Mentik Wangi rice induced by 200 Gy gamma irradiation. This study addresses the growing need for rice varieties with improved traits to enhance food security in Indonesia. Methods: The research was conducted at the Tegalgondo Rice Seed Garden using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The study included 12 M6 mutant lines of Mentik Wangi rice generated through 200 Gy gamma irradiation. Data were collected on plant growth, yield attributes, and grain quality. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test to evaluate the significance of observed traits. Findings: The results revealed significant variations among mutant lines for key yield components, including grains per panicle, 100-grain weight, and productivity per hectare. The line M6-MW2-G70-01-14-4-8 demonstrated the highest productivity at 7.29 tons/ha, while all mutant lines exceeded the productivity of the control (3.78 tons/ha). Gamma irradiation was effective in inducing beneficial mutations, enhancing traits such as early maturity, short stems, and higher grain density. Conclusion: The study successfully identified mutant lines of Mentik Wangi rice with improved yield potential and agronomic traits, demonstrating the effectiveness of gamma irradiation as a crop improvement strategy. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research presents innovative findings on the use of gamma irradiation to enhance the productivity and agronomic traits of a traditional rice variety, contributing to the development of high-yielding and locally adapted rice lines.

Abstract

Background: Urban industrial development is directly correlated with population density. Data from BPS (Statistics Indonesia) during 1998-2002 indicates a significant conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural purposes, approximately ±110,000 hectares annually. This highlights the inevitability of urban infrastructure development. As urban expansion reduces agricultural land, population density and food security needs inversely correlate with current land availability. Methods: This research uses problem identification, literature review, potential analysis, and strategy design methodology to address agricultural challenges in urban settings. Finding: Based on these challenges, we propose the "Soperku (My Agricultural Solution)" website as an innovative solution. Soperku is an internet-integrated platform that facilitates knowledge exchange about urban agriculture preservation and agricultural entrepreneurship. The platform implements urban farming concepts such as vertical farming, hydroponics, and rooftop gardening for urban residences. A key feature is the involvement of competent stakeholders, ensuring the validity of information through a triple helix model, which includes academics, business practitioners, and government entities. These stakeholders collaborate within an integrated framework of information chains, public services, and product marketing. Academic institutions can disseminate research through the Soperku platform, while government support is crucial in creating favorable economic regulations to attract agricultural businesses. Conclusion: The Soperku website aims to provide educational services to society and foster agricultural environments in urban industrial settings, making it easier to learn and implement agricultural practices. This initiative benefits younger generations who will become future drivers of Indonesia's economy. Novelty/Originality: By integrating triple helix stakeholders and modern agricultural techniques, Soperku offers a novel approach to maintaining agricultural practices in increasingly urbanized environments.
