<p>Coconut plantation area in North Sulawesi is an ecological basis for cattle but lower in terms of productivity of feed d annutrients. This study aims to improve the productivity of feed and nutrient  for beef cattle development in the coconut palm plantation through the introduction of superior forage P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott. The study was conducted from July 2012 to January 2013, in the Ongkaw Village, South Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. Coconut palms used in this study was 50 years-old tall coconuts with planting system of  9 m x 9 m at farmer plantation area. The research followed a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments tested were types of animal feed, which consists of (1). P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott  (dwarf elephant grass),  Cynodon sp. (native grass), and P. purpureum (forage elephant grass). Planting systems of livestock forage are 20 cm x 20 cm, for Cynodon sp.  100 cm x 50 cm for  both  P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott and P. purpureum. The first defoliation was done 70 days after planting, after that, the defoliation was done every 45 days. The result showed that the dry weight of animal feed/ha was 15.31 tons, 163.73   tons and 128.21 tons for Cynodon sp., P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott and P. purpureum, respectively. Dry matter and nutrients of P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott was higher than that of Cynodon sp. and P. purpureum. The result showed that the introduced P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott significantly increased both animal feed production and feed nutrients in coconut plantation area as compared to the local forage crops (Cynodon sp. and P. purpureum). The P. purpureum  Schum cv. Mott can adapt to the shade of bearing coconut palms.</p><p>ABSTRAK </p><p>Lahan perkebunan kelapa di Sulawesi Utara merupakan basis ekologi sapi namun produktivitas dan nutrisi pakan rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan produktivitas pakan dan nutrisi untuk pengembangan sapi potong di lahan perkebunan kelapa, melalui   introduksi hijauan pakan ternak unggul Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv. Mott. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Juli 2012 sampai dengan Januari 2013 di Desa Ongkaw, Kabupaten Minahasa Selatan, Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Tanaman kelapa yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Kelapa Dalam umur 50 tahun dengan jarak tanam  9 m x 9 m. Penelitian  menggunakan  Rancangan  Acak  Lengkap  dengan tiga perlakuan dan           tiga ulangan. Tiga perlakuan yang diuji adalah jenis pakan ternak, yang terdiri atas P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott, Cynodon sp. dan Pennisetum purpureum. Jarak tanam pakan ternak tersebut adalah 20 cm x 20 cm untuk Cynodon sp., dan 100 cm x 50 cm untuk P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott dan P. purpureum. Defoliasi pertama dilakukan 70 hst, setelah itu defoliasi dilakukan setiap 45 hari. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa berat kering pakan ternak per ha adalah 15,31 ton; 128,21 ton; dan 163,73 ton/ha berturut-turut untuk  Cynodon sp., P. purpureum, dan P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott. Bahan kering dan nutrisi pakan P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott  lebih tinggi dari Rumput Cynodon sp. dan Pennisetum purpureum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa P. purpureum Schum cv. Mott  yang diindtroduksi meningkatkan produksi dan nutrisi pakan ternak pada lahan perkebunan kelapa secara nyata dibanding tanaman pakan lokal Cynodon sp. dan P. purpureum. Pennisetum  purpureum Schum cv. Mott  dapat beradaptasi di bawah naungan kelapa dewasa.<br /><br /></p><p> </p><p> </p>

Preservation Technique

The breeding of dwarf elephant grass generally uses vegetative methods, namely using cuttings. The constraints faced and the distribution of cuttings are the nature of which are easily damaged during storage due to physiological activities and invasion of microorganisms. This study aims to find a number of preservation techniques that can maintain the age and quality of dwarf elephant grass cuttings (Pennisetum purpureum cv mott.). This research was carried out in the Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Sumatera Utara, starts from July to August 2018. The design used is a 5 x 5 factorial complete randomized design (RAL), with 4 replications each consisting of 3 cuttings. The results showed that the general condition of the cuttings planting material was better until storage for 20 days, namely A4; the average shrinkage weight of the cuttings is significantly different in the A4 (refrigerator) treatment that is equal to 1.532 and the longer it is stored the higher the weight loss; the average power grows is significantly different in treatment A1 (wax) which is equal to 1.950 and the longer it is stored the lower the power to grow cuttings. The average vertical height is significantly different from the A1 treatment (wax) with a value of 10,585.

Dwarf Elephant Grass

The aim of this research was to revegetate the disused limestone quarry by introducing dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) and annual legumes such as peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), soybeans (Glycine max), cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) and  mung beans (Vigna radiata). The study was conducted experimentally in a disused limestone quarry applying Completely Randomized Design. The research method used was experimental in disused limestone mining in karst Gombong area applying Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Treatment consisted of 6 planting methods with 4 replicates. The 6 treatments research were the followings: RO: Single planting of dwarf elephant grass,  R1: Single planting of dwarf elephant grass + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R2: Mixture Planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume peanuts + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R3: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume soybeans + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost,  R4: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume cowpeas + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost and R5: Mixture planting of dwarf elephant grass + legume mung beans + 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost. The measured response variables were plant’s height, fresh yield, dry matter yield and crude protein content of dwarf elephant grass aged 8 weeks. The result showed that the addition of goat compost and the planting method of annual legumes on the disused limestone quarry had highly significant influence (P<0.01) on the increase productivity and quality of dwarf elephant grass. The best method of planting dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) on disused limestone mining in karst Gombong area is mixture planting with soybean legumes (Glycine max) and adding the 1.5 kg/m2 goat compost.

This research aimed to determine the effect of bokashi dose on crude protein and crude fiber content at the first cut of dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum Purpureum cv. Mott). This research was conducted in March�Juli 2020 in Sidodadi Asri village, Jati Agung district, South Lampung regency. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) applying four treatments of bokashi dose, namely P0 (control), P1 (30 ton/Ha); P2 (40 ton/Ha); dan P3 (50 ton/Ha) with 3 replications each. The experimental unit of this study was plot of land with size of 200 cm x 200 cm. The obtained data were then analyzed using analysis of variance at 5% significant level and tested further with Orthogonal polynomial. The results showed that there was no significant effect (P>0.05) of different dose of bokashi on the crude protein and crude fiber content of dwarf elephant grass.

A trial was conducted to investigate the germination percentage and emergence potential of nine imported temperate forage germplasms at the National Animal Production Research Institute, Shika, Nigeria. The seeds consisted of seven grasses namely; Beefsteak plant (Fructus perillae), Sweet elephant grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides), Wild foxtail millet (Setaria viridis), Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), King grass (Pennisetum sinese), Chinese sorghum (Sweet sorghum) and Zea mexican schard (Purus frumentum) and two legumes namely; Chinese woad (Isatis tinctoria) and Chinese alfalfa (Medicago sativa). A laboratory germination test and pot emergence trial was carried out to ascertain their viability. The result of the experiment showed that Sweet elephant grass, napier grass and king grass recorded over 90 % germination and the least was 30 % in Chinese sorghum. Chinese alfalfa and wild foxtail millet had least germination percentage with 100 % Seed dormancy.Highest emergence rate, seedling length and seedling vigour indexwere observed in king grass than the other forage germplasms. The highest percentage emergence was obtained in king grass > sweet elephant grass > napier grass > Zea mexican schard > beefsteak plant > Chinese woad > Chinese sorghum, respectively. It was concluded that these forages can successfully be adopted as animal feed resources in Nigeria and therefore, recommended formulti-locational trials in all the ecological zones of the country.
