<p>ABSTRAK<br />Salah satu faktor yang menentukan daya simpan benih jahe putih<br />besar (JPB) adalah mutu. Mutu benih sangat ditentukan oleh tingkat<br />kemasakan rimpang. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh<br />umur panen terhadap perubahan fisiologi dan viabilitas benih selama<br />penyimpanan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Rumah Kaca dan Laboratorium<br />Teknologi Benih, Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Obat serta<br />Laboratorium Pascapanen IPB Bogor, mulai bulan Juli 2012 sampai<br />dengan Februari 2013. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah acak lengkap<br />(RAL) dengan lima ulangan. Perlakuan yang diuji adalah tiga tingkat umur<br />panen benih 7, 8, dan 9 bulan setelah tanam (BST). Pengamatan dilakukan<br />terhadap perubahan fisiologis (penyusutan bobot, persentase rimpang<br />bertunas, tunas, kadar air, dan laju respirasi), serta viabilitas rimpang benih<br />(daya tumbuh, tinggi, dan bobot kering bibit). Hasil penelitian<br />menunjukkan rimpang benih umur 7 dan 8 BST mempunyai daya simpan<br />terbaik karena menghasilkan masing-masing total angka penyusutan bobot<br />lebih rendah (24,65 dan 25,25%) dan tunas lebih pendek (0,30 dan 1,08<br />cm) dibandingkan dengan umur panen 9 BST (27,13% dan 1,62 cm),<br />selama 4 bulan disimpan. Masa dormansi rimpang benih JPB mulai pecah<br />setelah mengalami periode simpan 2 bulan. Pertumbuhannya mulai<br />seragam setelah 3 bulan simpan. Umur panen jahe 7 dan 8 BST<br />mempunyai derajat dormansi yang lebih tinggi dibanding 9 BST. Rimpang<br />benih umur panen 7, 8, dan 9 BST mempunyai daya tumbuh tinggi (&gt;95%)<br />dan pertumbuhan bibit seragam setelah 3 bulan disimpan.<br />Kata kunci: Zingiber officinale Rosc., penyimpanan, benih, perubahan<br />fisiologis, viabilitas</p><p>ABSTRACT<br />One of the factors that determine the storability of seed rhizome of<br />white big ginger (WBG) is quality. The quality is determined by the<br />maturity levels of seed rhizome. The aim of the experiment was to observe<br />the effect of harvesting time on physiological changes and seed viability of<br />WBG seed rhizomes during the storage. The experiment was conducted at<br />Green House and Seed Technology Laboratory of Indonesian Spice and<br />Medicinal Crops Research Institute, Bogor and Postharvest Laboratory,<br />IPB, from July 2012 to February 2013. The experiment was arranged in a<br />completely randomized design with five replications. The treatments<br />tested were three levels of WBG seed rhizome harvesting time: 7, 8, and 9<br />month after planting (MAP). Variables observed were physiological<br />changes of seed rhizomes during the storage (weight loss, sprouting<br />percentage, shoot height, respiration rate, and moisture content) and<br />viability (growth ability, height, and dry weight of the seedling). The<br />results showed that seed rhizomes at 7 and 8 had the best storability, since<br />it was produced each low rate of weight loss (24.65 and 25.25%), and<br />shoots shorter (0.3 and 1.08 cm) than 9 MAP (27.13% and 1.62 cm), for 4<br />months in storage. Dormancy of WBG seed rhizomes has been broken<br />after 2 months in storage. Harvesting at 7 and 8 showed a degree of<br />dormancy higher than the harvesting age 9 MAP. Harvesting time at 7, 8,<br />and 9 MAP had high growth ability (&gt; 95%) and uniform seedling growth<br />after 3 months in storage.<br />Keywords: Zingiber officinale Rosc., storage, seed, physiological<br />changes, viability</p>

AbstractThe investigation was conducted to determine the best harvesting time and the storage period of some quince cultivars and promising genotypes from the collection of quince germplasm in the Horticultural Research Station of Isfahan, Iran. For this study, fruits of ‘Vidoja’ and ‘Isfahan’ cultivars as well as promising genotypes PH2 and NB4 were harvested on 6, 14 and 21 October 2015 and 2016 and then stored at 0 ± 1 °C with 90 ± 5% R.H. for five months. Weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), titrable acids (TA), taste index, pectin, total phenols, and percent of decay and surface browning of fruits were measured immediately after harvest and one-month intervals after storage in a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications and 10 fruits per each replication. The results showed that ‘Isfahan’ cultivar had the highest TSS (18.83%), total phenols and weight loss. The least weight loss was observed in the ‘Vidoja’ cultivar. NB4 genotype showed the least taste index and pectin, while the most pectin and firmness was related to PH2 genotype. Generally, the delay in harvesting and prolongation of storage led to increasing of TSS and weight loss and declining of firmness and phenols, TA, and pectins. Until the third month of storage, there was no surface browning. Browning symptoms were observed from the fourth month of storage and increased in the fifth month up to 1.72%. Generally, the best harvesting time for ‘Vidoja’ was 185 days and for the rest of the genotypes, it was 193 days after full bloom. Fruit storage for four months in cold is advisable for these cultivars and genotypes.
