The study aims to determine the productivity of elephant grass cv Taiwan (Pennisetum purpureum cv Taiwan) from gamma ray irradiation at a dose of 50 gy at five harvest in one year. The study used a randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications, the treatment was 51 numbers clone of elephant grass (P. purpureum cv Taiwan) from gamma ray irradiation and control (without irradiation). Observations were made on each number of elephant grass irradiated on 5 plants per number, and were made on 10 plantswith a harvest interval of 2 months. The observed parameters include the number of tillers; fresh and dry leaf weight; fresh and dry stem weight, and total weight. The results showed a significant impact of gamma radiation (P<0.05) on tiller count, fresh leaf weight, dry leaf weight and fresh stem weight as well as dry stem weight and total weight. These results show that gamma radiation on elephant grass can generate diversity and increase its productivity. The best cuttings can be made on the fourth cut in clones no. 19, 1, 27, 31 and 3.

Odot elephant grass is a tropical forage forage that is easily developed, has high production and can be used as animal feed.This study aims to determine the effect of ameliorant types and organic fertilizer (Agrodyke) doses on the growth of odot elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) on peatlands. This study used a 3x3 factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications consisting of: (1) ameliorant type factor (A) consisting of 3 levels, namely: A1 =dolomite lime, A2 = Shellfish shell, A3 = Eggshell. (2) Agrodyke fertilizer dose factor (D) Consists of 3 levels, namely: D0 = 0 gram / plant, D1 = 10 gram / plant, D2 = 20 gram / plant. Observation parameters are the number of leaves, number of shoots, leaf length, plant height. The results of this study indicate that the type of ameliorant did not significantly affect the number of leaves, number of shoots, leaf length, and plant height at 2 MST, 4 MST, and 6 MST. Versatile fertilizer (Agrodyke) dosage significantly affected the number of leaves and plant height at 6 MST. But no significant effect on the number of leaves, number of shoots and plant height in 2 MST and 4 MST. Keywords: Peat, Ameliorant Species, Odot Elephant Grass, Agrodyke.

The study aimed to evaluate the agronomic characteristics of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) genotypes on energy production in the combustion form. A randomized block design with 3 repetitions was used. The treatments were arranged in subdivided plots scheme, considering as a plot the genotypes and as subplots, the harvest season. The agronomic characteristics plant height (H), leaf length (LL), leaf blade width (LBW), stem diameter (SD), tillers number (TN), stem percentage (SP), dry matter yield (DMY) were evaluated. The rainy season provided greater H to elephant grass genotypes with height above 3.5 m. The average SP obtained by the genotypes was 68.21% and 67.21% to the first and second year of cultivation, respectively, which gives the biomass good quality of burning. The rainy season provided greater DMY comparing to the dry season. In the first year of cultivation there were genotypes with annual dry matter yield (ADMY) above 50 ton ha-1 year-1, however, the non-maintenance of soil fertility promoted the reduction of 39.17% and 39.05% in the DMY and ADMY, respectively. Analyzing the agronomic characteristics, we conclude that the promising genotypes of elephant grass to produce energy in the form of direct combustion are CNPGL 91-25-1, Cubano Pinda, BRS Canará, Porto Rico and Mercker.

SUMMARYHerbage accumulation is determined by the tissue turnover of individual plants and by the regulation patterns of the number of individuals in a plant population, which function in conjunction to enable swards to adapt to variations in growth and management conditions. Based on the hypothesis that intermittent grazing strategies change the proportion of basal and aerial tillers and, consequently, sward herbage accumulation, the objective of the current experiment was to evaluate the components of herbage accumulation in elephant grass cvar Napier (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cvar Napier) from January 2011 to April 2012. The treatments corresponded to combinations of two post-grazing (post-grazing heights of 35 and 45 cm) and two pre-grazing conditions (0·95 and maximum canopy light interception during regrowth – LI0·95 and LIMax) and were allocated to experimental units (850 m2 paddocks) according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a complete randomized block design with four replications. The following response variables were evaluated: the population density of basal tillers (TPDb) and the population density of aerial tillers (TPDa), the number of aerial tillers per supporting unit (A/B+VC), growth rates of the leaf (LGR) and stem (SGR), leaf senescence rate, net leaf accumulation rate (LAR), and the contributions of basal and aerial tillers to sward growth and senescence. The swards managed with the LI0·95 target had greater TPDb than those managed with the LIMax target, but no difference was recorded between the LI pre-grazing targets for TPDa. The larger A/B+VC ratio recorded for the swards managed with the LIMax target resulted in a higher contribution of aerial tillers to the growth and senescence of swards. This growth strategy resulted in a higher SGR and lower LGR and LAR for the swards managed with the LIMax target relative to those managed with the LI0·95 target. The post-grazing height targets affected only LGR during winter and the second summer and SGR on average for the experiment, with higher values recorded for the swards managed at 35 cm. The LI pre-grazing targets played a central role in defining the compensatory mechanisms responsible for the competitive ability of the plants, which were primarily expressed in the variation of the proportion of basal and aerial tillers in the tiller population and interfered with the components of herbage accumulation and total herbage yield of the swards.

Liquid organic fertilizer with the right concentration is expected to be a source of nutrients for the growth of mini elephant grass. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer with different concentrations of urine and Local Microorganism (LMO) on the production of mini elephant grass. The research method used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and each treatment consisted of 3 groups as replications. The treatments used were liquid organic fertilizer, with concentrations of P0 (as a control), P1 (100 % urine, 0 % LMO), P2 (90 % urine, 10 % LMO) and P3 (85 % urine, 15 % LMO). The results showed that liquid organic fertilizer with different concentrations of urine and MOL had no significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers and production of fresh weight (g/clump). The liquid organic fertilizer with different urine and MOL concentrations has no significant effect on the growth and production of mini elephant grass.

Structural characteristics (total in marked tillers of leaves (NFT), expanded leaves (NCE), green leaves (NFV) and dead leaves (NFS) and number of tillers per plant (NPP)) and morphogenic variables (tillering (TApPP) and rates of total leaf (TApFT), expanded leaf (TApFE) and live leaf (TApFV) appearance) were evaluated in four elephantgrass genotypes (Napier, Cameroon and Pioneiro cultivars and clone CNPGL 91 F27 05). Greenhouse evaluations were carried out every three days, from the 3rd to the 60th day after standardization cutting, according to a completely randomized block design under a factorial treatment scheme (four genotypes and 21 measurement days). The NFT and NCE of the CNPGL 91 F27 05 and Pioneiro genotypes were larger than those of Cameroon and Napier genotypes. The average TApFT was 0.249 leaves/day. The NFS increased progressively and equaled the growth of NCE 44 days after the standardization cut. Number of leaves and number of tillers per plant were positively correlated. The highest values for NFV were about eight and nine. A great potential for leaf density was observed for the Pioneiro cultivar.

Abstract Shallots are one of the vegetable commodities that are in demand by the public, but their production does not meet market demand. One of the reasons is the difficulty of suitable seeds for the area. This condition can be overcome by obtaining superior seeds in the Samosir area through irradiation on shallot bulbs. The research objectives were to produce high production, and to identify changes in the morphological and physiological characters of the local Samosir variety shallots. Treatments were arranged in a non-factorial Randomized Block Design. Shallots bulbs were irradiated with several doses of gamma-ray irradiation (0, 1, and 2Gy) using a Co 60irradiation sources. The results showed that there were morphological and physiological differences between the irradiation treatments. The number of leaves with the highest value at 2 Gy 20.147 g and the lowest at 18.894 g control. The heaviest wet weight in the control was 20.355 g and the lowest was at 2 Gy 18.45 g. At 1 Gy and 2 Gy can significantly increase the content of chlorophyll-a 2 Gy 2.484, chlorophyll-b 2 Gy 1.579, and total chlorophyll-(a+b) 2 Gy 4.056. This proves that the dose of gamma-ray radiation affects the morphological and physiological characters of shallots.

The objective of this study was to determine the agronomic diversity of gamma-ray at 50 Gray dose   during the phase of embryogenetic callus in napier grass cv Taiwan. This research used a randomized blok design (RBD) of gamma-ray and without radiation elephant grasses (P. purpureum cv Taiwan). There were 51 numbers in irradiated elephant grass, each number three replicated and five plant per number each. Without irradiation control used elephant grass (P. purpureum cv Taiwan); there were 10 clumps in one block and each line number had been repeated three times. Gamma radiation showed no impact on plant height and stem weight (dry weight) at P>0.05, but had a significant effect on number of tillers, leaf length, leaf width, total weight, fresh weight, leaf (dry weight), weight of stem (fresh weight). Gamma ray irradiation selection does not have to generate high output but can be developed on sub optimal soil or extreme weather conditions such as tolerant felling, which requires less high plant. Key words:        diversity, forage, irradiation
