Abstract

Rubber is one of the economically important tropical trees that produces natural rubber, an essential industrial raw material in Indonesia. In general, rubber can grow well in areas with 1,500 - 3,000 mm rainfall per year that evenly distributed round the year. During the dry season, water availability is reduced so that water becomes a limiting factor for the growth and production of the rubber tree. This paper aimed to determine minimum soil water content that must be maintained to prevent the reduction of PB 260 rubber production based on field water balance. This research was carried out at the Indonesian Rubber Research Institute Experimental Field, South Sumatra, Indonesia, between 2014 to 2019. This experiment used PB 260 clone which was planted in 2001 using a 6 x 3 m plant spacing. Soil analysis showed that the Sembawa had a clay loam soil texture. The measured parameters were latex production (kg per ha per year), rainfall, and evapotranspiration (mm). The results from our six years of study showed that rubber production always decreased when soil water content started to decline below field capacity (33.7 %, or equal to 337 mm with 1m depth of root zone).

Abstract

Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) is a species Ranunculaceae family which grows in the Middle Eastern and Southern Mediterranean countries. Black cumin is also known as habbatus sauda , or kalonji in South Asia. Black cumin seeds are used as spice traditional medicine; the essential oil compound in the seeds has been identified as thymoquinone. Thymoquinone has a potent antioxidant effect, which could protect organs from oxidative damage by generating free radical agents. Indonesia is one of the most geographically diverse country in the world. Some regions have scattered low and high plains, abundant sunlight, evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year, and highly diverse soil types. The purpose of this study was to study the growth, production, thymoquinone and thymol content of several accessions of black cumin with different harvesting time in D3 type climate regimes. The research was conducted from April to September 2019 in Ngadirejo Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java with an altitude of 1.680 m above sea level. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with one factor for the vegetative phase, namely accession (“American”, “Indian”, “Kuwait”, and “Slovenian”) and two factors for the generative phase, namely accession and harvesting time. The harvesting time of black cumin was conducted at 6, 7, and 8 weeks after the anthesis. “Indian” and “Slovenian” accession demonstrated the best vegetative growth, whereas “Indian” had the highest capsules number per plant, seeds weight per plant, and the highest estimated production compared to other accessions (603 kg seeds. ha-1). “American”, “Indian” and “Kuwait” accessions are well adapted in D3 type climate. The harvesting time of 7 to 8 weeks from anthesis was shown to be optimal for all accessions. Thymoquinone and thymol content for the four accessions was circa 349.64– 3,030.45 μg. g-1 of seeds and 385.56 – 2,003.46 μg.g-1 of seeds, with potential production values of 0.18 - 1.83 kg.ha-1 and 0.19 - 0.45 kg.ha-1, respectively. The optimal harvesting time to maximize seed production was unaffected by the black cumin accession.

Abstract

Potato stolon and tuber number are the most important determinants of yield and these traits are associated with planting time and genotype. This study was conducted to evaluate plant growth, tuber yield contributing traits and tuber yield of potato genotypes in two planting dates. The experiment was done in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that plant growth and traits that contribute to tuber yield of potato were significantly influenced by planting dates and genotypes. Stolon and tuber number as well as tuber weight were periodically investigated. It was observed that the performance of those traits were always higher in 23rd November planting. Different genotypes performed differently on all the studied parameters. Among the genotypes tested, G1 (AC 10069) produced the highest number of stolons, tubers, tuber weight, length and yield of tuber as compared to the check variety. It was observed that 23rd November planted G1 (AC 10069) gave the highest tuber yield (17.79 t.ha-1) which was statistically similar with G3 (AC 10110) (17.00 t.ha-1) when compared to the check variety. It can be concluded that planting time as well as genotype are the critical factors that determine potato yield.

Abstract

“Tawangmangu Baru” garlic variety is known to have low productivity. The variety is still highly demanded due to its strong flavour and aroma; however, its production has not yet been able to fulfill the local needs of Central Java due to the small size and limited production area. This study aimed to determine the effect of concentration and time duration of colchicine treatment towards increasing the ploidy level of “Tawangmangu Baru” garlic variety for genetic variability. The experimental design used in this study was a complete randomized design with two factorials and 12 combinations. The first factor was concentration of colchicine, i.e. 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10%, and the second factor was the immersion time, i.e. 24 and 48 hours. The result indicated that, 4.72% callus induction was obtained in BDS + 0.4 mg.L-1 2,4-D + 2.0 mg.L-1 kinetin; and 4.0% callus proliferation were obtained in both BDS + 1.5 mg.L-1 2,4-D + 1.0 mg.L-1 kinetin and MS +1.5 mg.L-1 2,4-D and 1.0 mg.L-1 kinetin. The untreated plantlets showed higher mortality rate compared to the explants with 48 hours colchicine treatment. Higher number of shoots were recorded in 0.1% colchicine at 48 hours and lower shoots in 24 hours, whereas 0.1% colchicine at 24 and 48 hours showed the highest ploidy level of total nuclear DNA analyzed by flow cytometry. The genetic diversity of the “Tawangmangu Baru” garlic was successfully enhanced by colchicine and immersion treatment. Mutant lines with tetraploid and mixoploid plants were obtained. The putative lines obtained at 0.1% colchicine treatment were subcultured to produce new mutants before testing the phenotype. The application of colchicine at 24 and 48 hours treatment improved the genetic potential of “Tawangmangu Baru” garlic variety in vitro. The application of colchicine increased the ploidy level and an increase in ploidy is expected to make the bulb size larger. Larger tuber size will increase the tuber weight, and also the overall garlic productivity and production in the future.

Abstract

A well-structured root system is essential to ensure optimal plant growth and yield. Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the root system of okra plant. These experiments were arranged with a completely randomized design. The first experiment was conducted in the growth chamber with 8 different bacterial isolates consisting of Methylobacterium sp., Bacillus sp., Bacillus methylotrophicus, Flavobacterium tirrenicum, Providencia stuartii, Azotobacter vinelandii, Methylocystis parvus and PGPR consortium. The second experiment was conducted in the greenhouse and examined the effects of four poultry manure rates, i.e. 0, 6, 12 and 18 ton ha-1, or equivalent to 0, 75, 150 and 225% of recommended rates and how these are altered with the presence or absence of PGPR. The results of the experiments showed that, PGPR significantly improved root architecture; the number and length of lateral roots was increased by 242.86% and 777.79% respectively, as well as the dry weight of the roots and shoots of okra plant by 236.36% and 333.33%, respectively. Moreover applying 150% (12 t.ha-1) of the recommended rate of poultry manure enriched with PGPR was found to be most effective in terms of improving the growth and root attributes of okra plants.

Abstract

Rainfed lowland rice cultivation is an alternative to increase national rice production. Breeding of high yielding rice varieties suitable for rainfed lowland condition can be accelerated by using doubled-haploid (DH) as genetic materials. This study aimed at obtaining information on the agronomic performance including yields in several DH rice lines and selecting DH lines suitable for rainfed lowland paddy field. The experimental design used was a Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications. The treatment was thirty DH lines and 4 check varieties namely RJ31 Ciherang, RJ32 Inpari 18, RJ33 Inpari 40, and RJ43 Inpari 41. The results showed that there were variability in all agronomic performances, i.e., plant height, number of tillers, days to heading and to harvest, panicle length, number of filled and empty grains, 1000-grain weight and grain yield. The DH lines, namely RJ19 DR8-43-3-1 and RJ25 DR10-14-1-1, gave the same productivity as 4 check varieties. Index selection showed that twelve DH lines with medium number of productive tillers, early maturing, and productivity of more than 4.40 tons.ha-1 were selected for further evaluation.

Abstract

Rapid Multiplication Technique (RMT) is a technique used to produce large scale cuttings of sweet potato in a short period by using mini cuttings and proper fertilizer management. The research was carried out from October 2019 to March 2020 and composed of two experiments The first experiment involved a randomized complete block design, with clones (“Ase Kapas” and “Ase Merah”) as the first factor, and tuber weight (150 ± 25 g, 250 ± 25 g, and 350 ± 25 g) as the second factor. The second experiment was arranged in a split-plot design involving different doses of NPK compound fertilizer (as main plot) and different source of cuttings (as subplots). The different doses included NPK 16:16:16 at 100 kg.ha-1 (0.3 g per polybag), 200 kg.ha-1 (0.6 g per polybag), 300 kg.ha-1 (0.9 g per polybag), and without fertilizer as control. The source of cuttings were from the tip, middle and bottom stem of the plants. Results showed that the “Ase Kapas” showed the highest number and the longest shoots, number of nodes, and length of vines. Additionally, tuber weight of ± 350 g produced the highest number of shoots. When it comes to NPK compound fertilizer treatment, a dose of 0.9 g per polybag increased cutting production in “Ase Kapas”, and also responded better to fertilizer treatment. On the other hand, dose of 0.3 g increased cutting production in “Ase Merah”. “Ase Kapas” produced more cuttings from the middle stem, whereas “Ase Merah” produced more cuttings from the . The application of RMT in “Ase Kapas” produced cuttings with ratio of 1:31, which is higher than those in “Ase Merah” with a ratio of 1:17.
