Shallots (Allium cepa var. Aggregatum L) have many varieties that can be grown in the highlands and lowlands and one of them is the Batu Ijo variety. Nutrients N and K play an important role for plant needs. This research was conducted from March to June 2019 in Medan Baru, Bengkulu City. This study used a completely randomized design with two factors. The first factor was the dose of N fertilizer and the second factor was the application of K fertilizer. The application of N fertilizer had a significant effect on the number of shallots at week 2. The Urea dose given decreases the number of spring onions. For the best treatment at plant height is the treatment of Urea 300 kg/ha and KCl 50 kg/ha. Plant growth from week 2 to 5 increased significantly. The application of K fertilizer has an effect on the number of shallots at week 2 and the number of tubers. The higher the plant age, the more the number of leaves produced, but at higher doses, the number of leaves and the number of tubers decreased. The best treatment for the number of leaves produced was Urea 300 kg/ha and without giving KCl. For the best treatment of fresh plant weight, namely Urea 300 kg/ha and KCl 150 kg/ha, the best treatment fresh tuber weight was Urea 300 kg/ha and KCl 150 kg/ha, for tuber diameter the best treatment was 200 kg/ha of urea and KCl 100 kg/ha and for the number of tubers of Urea 0 kg/ha and KCl 150 kg/ha.Keywords: shallots, N fertilizer, K fertilizer

Brazil has a large variety of native and exotic fruit species, including the gabiroba, which can be sources of income for the population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-harvest behavior of gabiroba fruit by maturity stage and storage temperature. The fruits were divided into two lots and stored at temperatures of 6, 12, 24 and 30°C. The first batch was used for the physical and chemical analysis of acidity, soluble solids, firmness, percentage of green color, and visual analysis; this batch was composed of green and yellow-green fruit. The second lot was intended for breath analysis, composed of green, yellow-green, and yellow fruits. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Considering the evaluated characteristics, the gabiroba soluble solid/titratable acidity ratio values should be approximately 4.0 for the fruits to be considered acceptable for consumption. For the preservation of the post-harvest quality of gabiroba, it is indicated that the harvest is carried out at the green stage of maturation and that they are stored at a temperature of 6°C. The highest respiratory rates were observed in fruits harvested at the yellow stage, not being recommended its storage.

Physiological status of chrysanthemum cuttings during rooting process highly influences plant growth and flower production. Amongst other aspects, rooting capacity of the cuttings is the most important. Rooting capacity is influenced by environmental conditions such as growing medium and nutrition. The study was aimed to analyze the effects of different types of media, fertilizer concentration, and frequency of fertilizer application on the rooting capacity of chrysanthemum cuttings. The experiment was conducted at the Segunung Experimental Station of the Indonesian Ornamental Crops Research Institute from February to May 2005. The treatments consisted of four different rooting media, i.e. carbonized rice husk, coco peat, perlite, and mixture of perlite and vermiculite (1:1 v/v); two concentrations of NPK (25:7:7) fertilizers, i.e. 1.75 and 2.5 g 1-l; and four frequencies of fertilizer application, i.e. every 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, and 4 days. The experiment was designed in a completely randomized block with four replications. Parameters observed were rooting capacity and cutting performances such as cutting height, cutting diameter, number of leaves, number of visible roots, and root length at 16 days after planting. The results showed that chrysanthemum cuttings rooted in carbonized rice husk had better performance than those rooted in coco peat, vermiculite, and mixture of perlite + vermiculite. Higher concentration of fertilizer solution up to 2.5 g l-1 also gave significant effect on the root formation and further root growth of cuttings. However, the rooting capacity of cuttings was not affected by the frequency of fertilizer application. This study implied that carbonized rice husk growing medium supplemented with NPK (2.5 g l-l) every 4 days during rooting period is the choice for traditional chrysanthemum growers to increase the perform-ance and quality of the cut flowers.

Sari Perbanyakan tanaman stroberi secara konvensional dilakukan dengan menggunakan stolon, tetapi kurang efektif serta kualitas bibit yang dihasilkan kurang baik akibat adanya akumulasi penyakit. Budidaya stroberi memerlukan adanya perbanyakan bibit secara massal, tetapi tidak mengubah kualitasnya. Multiplikasi in vitro menjadi solusi untuk penyediaan bibit berkualitas dalam jumlah besar. Upaya untuk mendapatkan tunas in vitro dalam jumlah banyak yakni perlu adanya penambahan zat pengatur tumbuh golongan sitokinin seperti Benzylaminopurine (BAP) atau Thidiazuron (TDZ). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui dan menetapkan jenis serta konsentrasi sitokinin dengan hasil terbaik dalam multiplikasi stroberi kultivar Tochiotome. Percobaan dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Kultur Jaringan Tanaman, Teknologi Benih, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Padjadjaran. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap yang terdiri dari tujuh perlakuan yang diulang lima kali, yaitu: Kontrol (tanpa sitokinin); BAP (0,25 ppm; 0,50 ppm; 0,75 ppm), dan TDZ (0,25 ppm; 0,50 ppm; 0,75 ppm). Hasil dari percobaan menunjukkan bahwa penambahan sitokinin tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah tunas dan bobot segar planlet. Media perlakuan kontrol dapat menghasilkan jumlah akar lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan media ditambah sitokinin. Penambahan BAP 0,50 ppm  berpengaruh positif terhadap jumlah daun dan dapat menghasilkan runner secara in vitro. Pemberian BAP 0,50 ppm cenderung dapat meningkatkan dan mempercepat produksi bibit tanaman stroberi kultivar Tochiotome.Kata Kunci: Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), Stroberi, Kultur Jaringan AbstractStolon is used for conventional propagation of strawberry, but it is less effective and the quality of the seeds is not good due to the accumulation of disease. In vitro multiplication becomes a solution for the supply of quality seeds in a fast time. The addition of growth regulator cytokinin, such as Benzylaminopurine (BAP) or Thidiazuron (TDZ) can produced the large number of shoot. The objective of this study was to obtain the best type and concentration of cytokinin in the multiplication of strawberry ‘Tochiotome’. The study was conducted at the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Seed Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven treatments and five replications, that were: Control (without cytokinin); BAP (0.25 ppm; 0.50 ppm; 0.75 ppm), and TDZ (0.25 ppm; 0.50 ppm; 0.75 ppm). The results indicated that addition of cytokinin did not affected increasing number of shoots and fresh weightof plantlets. Control media can produce larger number of roots than those containing PGRs, this might be due to the endogenous auxin concentrations found in strawberry plants. Also, cytokinin inhibited root formations process. Plants treated with BAP 0.50 ppm increased for the number of leaves and produced runners in vitro. This study showed application of BAP with 0.50 ppm increased and accelerated the production of strawberry ‘Tochiotome’ seedlings.Keywords: Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), Strawberry, Tissue Culture
