Impatiens balsamina L. is a plant that is widely cultivated in Bali. The flower of this plant is used as a component of offering in Hindu religious ceremonies. The flower petals are thin and wilt easily, therefore genetic modification is needed to get better quality. This research aimed to study the effect of 0.01% colchicine with soaking periods of 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours to seedlings of I. balsamina. Seeds of I. balsamina were germinated and sprouted seeds were treated with 0.01% colchicine for 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours. The sprouted seeds were then transfer to polybag with soil media. The experiment was designed with randomized blok design with five replicates. Observations were done on plant height, length and width of leaf, stem diameter, number of stomata as well as observation on plant stem cortex cells. Results showed that colchicine reduced plant height at three weeks after planting, while plant stem diameter increased. Control plants had the smallest leaf length and width. The number of stomata decreased at plants derived from colchicine treated sprouted seeds and the lowest stomatal number observed was at soaking duration of 24 hours.

<p>Pengaruh ukuran dan perlakuan bibit terhadap petumbuhan dan produksi umbi iles-ilcs (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) ditcliti di Bogor dan Cikampek tahun 1993 1995, yang dilakukan dalam dua percobaan. Pada percobaan petama dipelajai pengaruh ukuran bibit utuh dan pada percobaan kedua pengaruh ukuran dan pcmbclahan bibit terhadap petumbuhan dan produksi umbi. Bibit utuh berasal dari umbi batang dengan ukuran 200 dan lOOg, seta umbi tetas dengan 5 dan 2.5g, sedangkan pcmbclahan bibit berasal dai umbi batang ukuran 200g, yang dibelah menjadi 2 bagian (a lOOg), 4 bagian (a SOg) dan 8 bagian (a 25g). Bibit dai pcrlakuan-perlakuan tersebut disemai di bak pasir di rumah kaca dan petumbuhannya diamati pada umur 1-2 bulan. Bibit yang bctunas normal ditanam di lapangan. Untuk percobaan percobaan petama (bibit utuh), bibit-bibit yang bctunas normal di tanam di Bogor dan Cikampek, sedang percobaan kedua (bibit dibelah) ditanam hanya di Bogor. Kedua percobaan tersebut dirancang secara acak kelompok dengan 5 ulangan. Parameter yang digunakan untuk menilai pengaruh perlakuan adalah tinggi tanaman dan diameter batang, panjang daun dan produksi umbi pada umur 6 dan 18 bulan setelah tanam, untuk bibit utuh dan 6 bulan untuk bibit yang dibelah. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan sebagai berikut. Dai percobaan pertama (bibit utuh) temyata ukuran bibit tidak berpengaruh terhadap persentase pertunasan maupun petumbuhan di lapang. Komponen pertumbuhan dan hasil umbi sangat dipengaruhi oleh lokasi penanaman dan ukuran bibit. Komponen pertumbuhan, kecuali diameter batang, seta produksi umbi di Bogor nyata lebih tinggi dari pada di Cikampek. Pada bibit utuh, ukuran bibit 200g menghasilkan komponen petumbuhan dan produksi umbi paling tinggi dan berbeda dengan ukuran- ukuran lainnya, makin kecil ukuran bibit makin kecil nilai komponen petumbuhan dan produksi umbi. Dai percobaan kedua (pembelahan umbi) diperoleh bahwa pembelahan umbi dai 200g sampai 25g tidak mempengaruhi pertunasan di rumah kaca maupun tanaman yang tumbuh di lapangan. Tinggi batang lebih kecil pada bclahan 25g, diameter batang pada belahan 50g dan produksi umbi pada bclahan lOOg dibanding bibit utuh 200g. Berdasarkan data tersebut, untuk memproduksi bibit secara masal, umbi dapat dibelah sampai ukuran 25g dan dalam waktu 6 bulan dapat diperoleh umbi sebcrat + 200g dan umbi ini dapat menghasilkan umbi sekitar 1 kg umbi/batang dalam waktu 6 bulan.</p><p>Kata kunci: Amorphophallus oncophyllus. ukuran bibit, produksi</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Effect of seed size and seed treatment on the growth and yield of Amorphophallus oncophyllus</strong></p><p>Efect of seed size and seed treatment on the growth and yield of Amorphophallus oncophyllus was studied in Bogor and Cikampek from 1993 to 1995, in two expeiments. The irst experiment studied the efect of the size of sound seed, and the second studied the efect of size and splitting seed on die growth and yield of tuber. In the first experiment the sound seed used were the true tuber with the size of 200 and lOOg and bulbil with the size of 5 and 2.5g. In the second expeiment, the tuber of 200g were splined into 2 parts (a lOOg), 4 parts (a 50g) and 8 parts (a 25g). The seeds were irstly planted in sand boxes in die glass house and evaluated for their sprouting at I -2 month ater planting. For the irst expeiment the normal sprouted seeds were planted in the ield in Bogor and Cikampek, while for the second expeiment, the normal sprouted seeds were planted in Bogor The two experiments were designed as a randomized block in 5 replicates. The parameters used for evaluating the effect of treatments were plant height, stem (pseudo-stem) diameter, leaf length and yield of tuber at 6 and 18 months ater planting for the irst and 6 months for the second expeiment. Results of the studies are summarized as follows. From the irst expeiment (sound seed) it was sevealed that seed size neither afected spronting percentage nor plant stand in the ield. The growth components and tuber yield were afected by planting location and size of seed. The growth components, except stem diameter, and tuber yield in Bogor significantly higher than those in Cikampek. From the second experiment it was shown that splitting seed rom 100 to 25g neither afected the sprouting percentage in the glass house nor plant stand in the ield. Plant height signiicantly decreased at the size of 25g, stem diameter al 50g and tuber yield at lOOg. Based on the data, for mass production of seed tuber, the tuber could be splined into 25g. Within 6 months the seed may produced a tuber of 300g and the tuber could produced 1 kg tuber within 6 months.</p><p>Key words : Amorphophallus oncophyllus. seed size, tuber yield</p>

This study aimed to evaluate the growth characteristics of irrigated Vitória pineapple plants grown in semi-arid conditions and determine its developmental stages based on those characteristics. It was used a randomized block design with four replicates. The experimental treatments were: plant harvest at 270, 330, 390, 450, 510, 570, 690, 750, and 810 days after planting (DAP). The following variables were determined: plant height, stem diameter, D-leaf length, D-leaf fresh and dry mass, biomass production of plants and plant parts (organs), and vegetative biomass. Five phenological stages are proposed based on vegetative biomass production: < 20% biomass production (V1); 21-40% (V2); 41-60% (V3); 61-80% (V4); and > 80% (V5). The maximum growth rate for plant height, D-leaf length, and stem diameter was observed at the end of the phenological stage V1 (390-411 DAP), and at the end of stage V5 these plant traits had average values of 106, 82, and 7 cm, respectively. The maximum biomass accumulation rates were observed at stages V4 and V5, resulting in a final fruit yield and total fresh biomass of 72 t ha-1 and 326 t ha-1, respectively. Finally, we estimated that 80% of the accumulated biomass may remain in the field after fruit and slip harvest, and could be incorporated as plant residue into the soil.

An experiment was carried out using eight double cross F1s (DCF1s) as lines and two testers to obtain sixteen Line ×Tester hybrids for the evaluation of major growth and flowering traits thereby to understand the breeding potentiality of the parental lines. The performance of growth and flowering traits of all twenty-six genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed all the genotypes were significantly different for all agro-morphological traits under study. The estimated general combining ability (GCA) effects showed that parent 5(P5), were superior for plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, days to flowering and attitude of floral axis followed by parent 2(P2) for leaf length, leaf width, days to flowering and attitude of floral axis and parent7 (P7) for number of flower, flower diameter, bud length and attitude for floral axis. Likewise; tester 1 found to be best combiner with significant GCA effect for almost all growth and flowering traits (except number of leaves). The plant height, leaf width, number of flower and attitude of floral axis showed prevailing additive gene action while stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, days to flowering, flower diameter and bud length indicated predominance of dominance gene action. We can conclude that parent P5, parent P2 and parent P7 can be used as good mother lines and the tester 1, as good donor for the seed production. SAARC J. Agri., 17(1): 175-187 (2019)

The experiment was conducted under field condition at Jimma University College of Agricultures and Veterinary Medicine (JUCAVM) to determine the Effects of Different Rate of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizer on Growth and yield Components of Potato (Solanum tuberosumL).The experiment design used was randomized complete block design(RCBD). The experimental treatments were replicated three times. A Potato cultivar ‘Jalene’ was grown combined with Farmyard manure and nitrogen (F0N0), (F20N70), (F0N35),(F0N70), (F20N35), (F20N0) as a treatment.. Data were recorded on Potato leaf area, plant height, leaf length, leaf number, leaf diameter, stem diameter and stem number. The result revealed that the combination of various level of Farmyard manure and nitrogen statistically (p≤0.05) affected leaf area, plant height, leaf length, leaf number, leaf diameter, stem diameter and stem number. The maximum values for leaf area, plant height, leaf length, leaf number, leaf diameter, stem diameter and stem number were recorded from (F0N70, F20N70, F0N70, F20N35, F20N0, F20N70, F20N0) respectively .However The minimum values of all the parameters were recorded from the control treatment (F0 N0). From the study it could be concluded that Potato yield components were greatly affected by different rates of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The appropriate amount of different rates of fertilizers (farmyard manure and nitrogen) should be used to increase Potato growth and yield.

Objetive: To evaluate the growth, chemical composition and quality of the silage of 45 d and 60 d cuts of Pennisetum purpureum sp. Gigante and Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan grasses. Design/methodology/approximation: The study took place at the Germplasm Bank of the Rosario Izapa Experimental Field in Tuxtla Chico, Chiapas, Mexico. Chemical analysis of the silage determined crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF), crude fiber (CF), ash (A), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and pH. Plant height, leaf length, leaf width and stem diameter were also determined. A completely randomized design was used with three repetitions per treatment as per PROC GLM and means comparison using the Tukey procedure. Results: The CP content of both grasses decreased in the 45 d to 60 d period; from 7.18 % to 5.36 % in Taiwan grass and from 7.53 % to 6.05 % in Pennisetum sp. Gigante. Plant height, length and width of leaf, and stem diameter were greater in the Taiwan variety (P<0.05) at 30 d, 45 d and 60 d; the pH of the silage was similar in both grasses evaluated (P>0.05) at 45 d and 60 d. Study limitations /implications:  A review during low water periods is required (December-April). Findings/conclusions: Taiwan grass registered a greater growth rate in all periods; while Gigante grass showed higher nutritional value at 45 and 60 days of cutting.

The experiment was conducted to see the effect of nutrient spray on morphophysiological feature and growth of three orchid varieties namely Dendrobium Red Bull, D. Kasim Gold and D White 5 N. Results revealed that the morphophysiological and growth attributes significantly varied among the cultivars. D Red Bull showed the highest plant height, leaf length, leaf area and stem diameter among the varieties. D. White 5 N was superior in leaf number and total leaf area and D. Kasim Gold was superior in leaf area index and leaf width to the other varieties. On the other hand, the trend of increasing in leaf length, leaf width, leaf area index, leaf number, leaf area and total leaf area was the highest for N:P:K as 10:25:30. Plant height and stem diameter was maximum for N:P:K as 15:20:20. In conclusion, low level of nitrogen and high level of phosphorus and potassium was suitable for leaf length, leaf width, leaf area index, leaf number, leaf area and total leaf area while high level of nitrogen and low level of potassium was suitable for plant height and stem diameter.
