Salinity Tolerance of Mungbean Genotypes at Seedling Stage

Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting mungbean production worldwide including Indonesia. Since mungbean plant is very sensitive to salt condition, selection of salinity tolerant genotypes becomes important for mungbean improvement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of eight mungbean genotypes to salinity at seedling stage under different levels. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with two factors (mungbean genotypes and salinity levels) and triplicates. Observation variables were germination percentage, vigor index, germination rate, hypocotyls length, epicotyls length, root length, number of root, seedling fresh weight, and seedling dry weight. The result showed that increasing level of salinity concentration inhibited the speed of germination, germination percentage, vigor index, normal seedling fresh weight, and number of lateral roots. Murai and Vima 1 were identified as tolerant genotypes, while Vima-2 and MLGV 0180 were identified as salinity sensitive genotypes at seedling stage. Currently, mungbean varieties with special characters, such as saline-tolerant is not yet available. The availability of saline-tolerant variety of mungbean is a cheaper and easier technology for farmers to anticipate the expansion of the saline area. The tolerant genotypes may be further tested at the later stage to obtain promising genotype tolerant to salinity that effectively assist mungbean breeding program.

ABSTRAK Tanaman kemukus (Piper cubeba LINN.) sudah dikenal sejak jaman dahulu sebagai tanaman obat, rempah, pengharum dan penyedap masakan. Di Jawa Tengah perbanyakan tanaman kemukus pada umumnya dilakukan melalui setek panjang yang terdiri dari 8 - 14 ruas. Perbanyakan dengan cara demikian dianggap tidak ekonomis, oleh karena itu perlu dicari cara perbanyakan yang efisien dan efektif. Percobaan pengaruh macam setek dan komposisi media tumbuh terhadap daya tumbuh dan vigor bibit dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan teknologi perbanyakan kemukus. Percobaan dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Cimanggu, Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Obat Bogor dari bulan September sampai dengan Desember 2003. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok yang disusun secara faktorial dengan 2 faktor dan 3 ulangan. Sebagai faktor pertama adalah 3 macam setek pendek 3 ruas yaitu : (1) setek bertapak, (2) setek sulur panjat dan (3) setek cabang buah. Faktor kedua adalah tiga perlakuan komposisi media tumbuh terdiri dari (tanah + pupuk kandang + pasir) dengan perbandingan: (a) 1:1:1, (b) 2:1:1, dan (c) 3:1:1. Media dimasukkan ke dalam polibag ukuran 10 x 12 cm. Variabel yang diamati meliputi persentase daya tumbuh, panjang tunas, jumlah daun, bobot kering tunas, jumlah akar, panjang akar dan bobot kering akar. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa vigor bibit yang diekspresikan oleh persentase daya tumbuh, pertumbuhan tunas dan akar tidak nyata dipengaruhi oleh interaksi jenis setek dan komposisi media tumbuh. Jenis setek berpangaruh nyata terhadap semua variabel yang diamati, kecuali terhadap jumlah daun. Jenis setek yang berasal dari setek bertapak dan sulur panjat manghasilkan persentase daya tumbuh 68,40% dan 62,00%, panjang tunas 2,87 cm dan 4,70 cm, bobot kering tunas 0,13 g dan 0,14 g, jumlah akar 5,95 dan 5,76 dan bobot kering akar 0,05 g dan 0.05 g, lebih baik dibandingkan setek cabang buah. Jenis media tumbuh hanya berpengaruh nyata terhadap bobot kering tunas tapi tidak berpengruh nyata terhadap variabel lainnya. Bobot kering tunas yang terbaik didapat pada komposisi media tumbuh tanah + pupuk kandang + pasir (1 : 1 : 1) (0,14 g) dan terendah pada komposisi media tumbuh tanah + pupuk kandang + pasir (3 : 1 : 1) (0.11 g). Kata kunci : Kemukus, Piper cubeba LINN, bahan tanaman, macam setek, media tumbuh, daya tumbuh, Jawa Barat ABSTRACT Effect of cutting materials and growth media on the growth of cubeba cuttings In Indonesia, cubeba pepper plant (Piper cubeba LINN) has been known for years as a traditional medicine, spice, fragrant, and seasonings. In Central of Java, it is usually propagated by using eight or fourteen node cuttings which is not an economical practice. The research on cutting materials and growth media was conducted in Cimanggu Experimental Garden of the Indonesian Spice and Medicinal Crops Research Institute from September to December 2003. The objective of the research was to find out an appropriate propagation technology of cubeba. The research used two factors and three replications which was arranged in a randomized completely block design. The first factor was three kinds of cutting nodes, i.e. (1) attached-rooted cuttings (2) vegetative branch and (3) generative branch. The second factor was three kinds of media compositions of soil, dung manure and sand (1) 1:1:1, (2) 2:1:1 and (3) 3:1:1. Observations were conducted on the percentage of budding, length of bud, number of leaves, number of roots, length of root, dry weight of the roots, and the shoot. The results of the research indicated that the vigor of seedlings which was expressed by germination percentage, growth of seedlings, and growth of root, did not significantly affected by the interaction between kinds of cuttings and media composition. However, the kinds of cuttings significantly affected all variables, except the number of leaves. Cubeba seedlings originated from attached-rooted cuttings and vegetative branch had higher germination percentage i.e. 68.40% and 62.00%, length of shoot 2.87 cm and 4.70 cm, dry weight of shoot 0.13 g and 0.14 g, number of roots 5.95 and 5.76, length of root 7.32 cm and 7.27 cm, and dry weight of root 0.05 g and 0.05 g, compared to the cubeba seedlings originated from generative branch. Media composition was significantly effected only on dry weight of shoots. The highest dry weight of shoot was resulted from composition of soil, dung manure and sand 1:1;1 (0.14 g), while the lowest was found on ratio media composition of soil, dung manure and sand 3:1:1 (0.11g).
