Abstract

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a widely consumed and cultivated fruit in Indonesia, cherished for its numerous benefits, high economic value, and short plant life. To enhance watermelon quality, plant breeding is employed, aiming to develop superior hybrid varieties. This study, conducted between September and November 2022 on PT. Aditya Sentana Agro's experimental land, evaluated candidate hybrid watermelon varieties (codes 3078, 3079, 3080, 2844, 2845) against comparison varieties (Winda, Mardi, Black Panther, Palguna). Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one genetic factor at 9 levels, repeated 3 times, a total of 27 experimental units were established, each consisting of 10 plants, summing up to 270 plants. Qualitative variables such as fruit skin color, pattern color, flesh color, and shape, along with quantitative variables like fruit weight, length, diameter, dissolved solids, flowering day, skin thickness, and percentage of fruit damage, were observed. The research revealed variations in fruit weight, length, diameter, dissolved solids, and flowering day among the different varieties. Promising candidates for new varieties were identified as codes 2845 and 3078 based on these quantitative traits. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential advancements in watermelon breeding, emphasizing the importance of selecting varieties with desirable characteristics for improved agricultural outcomes.

Abstract

The germination phase is a crucial stage in the successful cultivation of sugarcane. Seeds obtained from six to eight-month-old gardens, extracted from sugarcane stems' protrusions, are used. These seeds have dormant bud characteristics, making them suitable for germination. Typically, a single sugarcane stem contains at least 13 buds, and farmers usually select seeds with 2-8 eyes per spike. However, excessive use of buds may result in abnormal seed growth, emphasizing the need for careful selection. The study utilizes the rase cage test system, dividing the sugarcane stem into upper, middle, and bottom sections to determine the optimal bud quantity in each treatment. It investigates the response of different parts of sugarcane bud chip stems to varying concentrations of coconut water growth regulator during germination. Employing a factorial randomized block design, the study includes two factors: Bud chip (BA: Upper Stem, BT: Middle Stem, BB: Bottom Stem) and coconut water growth regulator concentration (Z1: 25%, Z2: 50%, Z3: 75%, Z4: 100%). The positive control involves Agrogibb at a concentration of 120 ppm, with all treatments soaked for six hours. Conducted at the Indonesian Sugar Plantation Research Center on January 10, 2023, the study reveals that the BBZ1 treatment significantly affects the observed parameter of shoot emergence, with an average of 8.1 days. Conversely, the BAZ1 treatment shows the fastest and most efficient shoot emergence, with an average of 5.1 days, outperforming other treatments. These findings emphasize the significance of careful selection and treatment during the germination phase for optimal sugarcane productivity.
