Culling Level

ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui kemajuan seleksi tandem dan independent culling level selama tiga siklus di lahan kering dan mengetahui rerata daya hasil dan stay-green (brangkasan segar) populasi hasil seleksi dibanding dengan populasi awal dan varietas unggul Lamuru. Percobaan dirancang dengan rancangan acak kelompok, 3 blok di lahan kering Lombok Utara. Data dianalisa dengan analisis sidik ragam pada taraf nyata 5 persen. Rata-rata kemajuan seleksi per siklus setiap cara, diperoleh dari koefisien regresi antara karakter dengan siklus seleksi (populasi). Rerata perlakuan, diuji lanjut dengan BNT0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa kemajuan seleksi per siklus kedua cara hingga siklus ketiga untuk daya hasil dan brangkasan segar bersifat linear yang nyata. Besarnya kemajuan seleksi per siklus daya hasil secara tandem dan independent culling level berturut-turut 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan; sedangkan untuk brangkasan segar sebesar 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan. Rerata daya hasil dan bobot brangkasan segar, populasi hasil seleksi siklus ketiga kedua cara lebih besar dibanding  populasi awal. Daya hasil populasi hasil seleksi independent culling level siklus ketiga lebih besar dibanding varietas Lamuru; namun populasi hasil seleksi tandem sama. ABSTRACT             The objective of this research was to determine the progress of tandem and independent culling level selections until the three cycles on dry land and determine the mean grain yield and stay - green of selected plant populations compared with the base population and Lamuru superior variety. The experiment was designed using randomized block design with 3 replicates in North Lombok dry land.  The observed data were analyzed using analysis of variance and LSD at the 5 percent significance level. The average of selection progress per cycle each way was obtained from the regression coefficient between the observed characters and the selection cycle (population). The results of the research showed that the progress of selection per cycle until the third cycle for yield (dry grain seed weight) and fresh biomass for both ways were significant linear. The selection progress of yield potential for tandem selection and independent culling level  were 2,19 dan 2,74 g/tan respectivelly. The selection progress of biomass weight were 6,86 dan 13,77 g/tan for tandem selection and independent culling level. Mean of yield potential and fresh biomass weight for two ways were higher base population. Yield  population  of independent culling level selection three cycles were higher than Lamuru variety; but population result of tandem selection as the same.

Robusta coffee plant propagation is recommended to be performed by vegetative methods, one of which is cuttings. Among plant organs that can be used for cuttings is the stem. The research objective was to determine which stem segment from cuttings was able to provide the best root and leaf growth. The layout study used a completely randomized block design (RBD) with an experimental treatment consisting of five stem segments, namely (1) the first stem segment from the upper shoot (A); (2) the second stem segment from the upper shoot (B); (3) the third stem segment from the upper shoot (C); (4) the fourth stem segment from the upper shoot (D); and (5) the fifth stem segment from the upper shoot (E); each treatment had five replications. Data analysis was performed statistically with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's HSD (honestly significant difference) test with a significance level of P < 0.05. Robusta coffee cuttings stems from the second stem segment from the upper shoot were able to provide the optimal root growth (root length) and shoot growth (leaf sprout height and leaf sprout growth rate). Leaf sprout number derived from the cuttings was not affected by the stem segment.

<p>Perkembangan varietas-varietas bawang merah di suatu daerah ditentukan oleh keserasian dengan lingkungan, potensi hasil, toleransi terhadap serangan organisme pengganggu tumbuhan (OPT), serta umur dan mutu hasil. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menguji penampilan beberapa klon bawang merah dan hubungannya dengan intensitas serangan OPT penting. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Brebes dan Tegal (Jawa Tengah) dari Bulan Juni sampai dengan September 2011. Perlakuan yang diuji ialah 10 klon bawang merah hasil silangan tahun 2004 dan 2005, serta dua varietas bawang merah sebagai pembanding (Bauji dan Bima Brebes). Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan ialah acak kelompok dan diulang tiga kali. Parameter yang diamati ialah pertumbuhan tanaman (tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan jumlah anakan), hasil panen, dan serangan OPT penting. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa klon no. 2005/1 dapat beradaptasi dengan baik di Brebes dan Tegal, mampu menghasilkan produksi tertinggi masing-masing sebesar 9,95 dan 17,50 t/ha, mempunyai diameter umbi terbesar (1,87 dan 2,41 cm), bentuk umbi bulat, dan berwarna merah tua, sedangkan klon no. 2004/11 mempunyai pertumbuhan dan  produktivitas yang tinggi, relatif toleran terhadap serangan Spodoptera exigua, Alternaria porri, dan Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, diameter umbi (1,67 dan 1,96 cm), bentuk umbi bulat,  dan berwarna merah tua, sedangkan klon no. 2004/10 dan no. 2005/19 sangat rentan terhadap serangan hama S. exigua, penyakit A. porri, dan C. gloeosporioides. Klon-klon yang mempunyai tingkat serangan rendah/toleran terhadap OPT merupakan klon harapan bawang merah toleran/tahan OPT. Namun demikian, penggunaan pestisida sesuai dengan konsep pengendalian hama terpadu (PHT) masih tetap diperlukan terutama apabila serangan OPT tersebut mencapai ambang pengendalian yang ditetapkan.</p><p> </p><p>The development of shallots varieties in one location depends on the genetic adaptability, yield potential,  tolerance to pest and diseases, harvest date, yield and quality.

P Supply

The genotypic differences on growth and yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in response to P supply were evaluated in a field experiment under biological N2 fixation. Eight cultivars were grown at two levels of applied P (12 and 50 kg ha-1 of P -- P1 and P2 respectively), in randomized block design in factorial arrangement. Vegetative biomass was sampled at three ontogenetic stages. The effects of genotype and phosphorus were significant for most traits, but not the genotype ´ phosphorus interaction. The cultivars presented different patterns of biomass production and nutrient accumulation, particularly on root system. At P1, P accumulation persisted after the beginning of pod filling, and P translocation from roots to shoots was lower. The nodule senescence observed after flowering might have reduced N2 fixation during pod filling. The responses of vegetative growth to the higher P supply did not reflect with the same magnitude on yield, which increased only 6% at P2; hence the harvest index was lower at P2. The cultivars with highest yields also presented lower grain P concentrations. A sub-optimal supply of N could have limited the expression of the yield potential of cultivars, reducing the genotypic variability of responses to P levels.
