THE INCREMENT OF GENETIC POTENTIAL OF MANGOSTEEN THROUGH FERTILIZATION
Full text linkIndonesia\u27s mangosteen exports to several Asian countries, Europe, and the Middle East have increased yearly, especially during the Covid19 pandemic. However, efforts to improve domestic mangosteen cultivation technology are inadequate. The research materials used include 45 mangosteen trees accessed by Donggala and Sigi already producing (age + 20 years) and Urea, TSP, and KCL fertilizer. The tools used are meters, plastic labels, calipers, digital scales, Smartphones, and GPS Garmin 64 Sc. Using a RandomIzed Group Design (RAK), one factor, namely fertilization, consists of three levels of treatment in each District. The observation results were analyzed using ANOVA, and if there was a significant influence, it was continued with the BNJ analysis. The results showed that fertilization treatment using BALITBU TROPIKA Solok and analysis results from the Soil Science Laboratory Unit of the Agriculture Faculty University of Tadulako increased plant height and triangular area stamina by 100 to 300 percent compared to without fertilization. There was an increase in plant height and triangular stamina area by 100 to 300 percent compared to without fertilization. There was an increase in plant height and triangular area stamina by 100 to 300 percent compared to without fertilization. There was an increase in production of fruit height from 155 to 394 percent, fruit/seed locul number from 101 to 106 percent, fruit production per tree from 175 to 178 percent, and fruit diameter from 119 to 137 percent
THE THE EXISTENCE OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF CENTRAL SULAWESI PROVINCE
No full textCentral Sulawesi\u27s agricultural sector is classified as a substantial sector. This study aims to identify the existence of the agricultural sector in the economic structure of Central Sulawesi. Data analysis used Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), and Shift Share Analysis methods. The data used is based from the Central Statistics Agency for Central Sulawesi and Indonesia in 2015-2020 based on constant prices. The results showed that the agricultural sector of Central Sulawesi was classified as the base sector with the highest average LQ value and was followed by the mining and quarrying sector. Meanwhile, the results of the DLQ analysis show that the agricultural sector is threatened with repositioning in the future. The combined analysis of LQ and DLQ indicates that the agricultural sector in Central Sulawesi is on a basic non-prospective. The results of shift-share analysis (Nij) show that the highest performance in the agricultural sub-sector is produced by the plantation sub-sector and the fishery sub-sector. The industrial mix value (Mij) from the agricultural sector and all sub-sectors mostly shows negative numbers, so only three agricultural sub-sectors, including the developed sector in Central Sulawesi Province include the horticulture sub-sector, livestock sub-sector, and fishery sub-sector. Based on the value (Cij) of the agricultural sector, it shows a negative number, so the sub-sectors that need to be improved include the food crops sub-sector, the horticulture sub-sector, the plantation sub-sector, and the fisheries sub-sector. It is necessary to pay attention to increasing labor wages in the agricultural sector and improving the performance of agro-industry in Central Sulawesi to create added value
GROWTH RESPONSE OF TWO LOCAL UPLAND RICE CULTIVARS (ORYZA SATIVA L.) ON SALINITY
Full text linkIncreasing the number of inhabitants in Indonesia led to the limited agricultural land so that the paddy fields become narrow and limited, the limited paddy fields caused agricultural production in Indonesia to decline while demand increased. Tidal land cultivation is still rarely performed due to the high salt content (NaCl). The purpose of this study is to obtain upland rice cultivars that are tolerant of salinity stress. The study was conducted in November to December 2019 at the Seed and Science Technology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tadulako. The study was arranged using a completely randomized design (CRD) of two factors where the first factor consisted of two levels, namely Logi, and Tako, while the second factor consisted of five levels, namely 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, and 0.9% were repeated three times. The results showed that tako cultivars have a good tolerance to salinity stress compared to logi cultivars, tako cultivars have the fastest germination time and germination capacity above 80%. At a concentration of 0.5% can not inhibit the growth of upland rice, but at a concentration of 0.9% can inhibit the growth of upland rice

The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate dosage of inorganic fertilizers to increase the growth and yield of three cultivars of upland rice. This research was conducted at the Center for Research and Development of Gogo Rice, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Kalama, Tamarenja Village at an altitude of 180 to 250 above sea level with a latitude of 00o 26\u2751.5” South Latitude and 119o49\u2750.6” East Latitude, Sindue District, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The time of the research started from March to August 2020. This research was compiled and carried out using the factorial 2 factors Randomized Block Design (RBD) method. The first factor used three local upland rice cultivars, namely: Pae Bohe, Buncaili, and Uva Buya, while the second factor used six doses of inorganic fertilizers, namely: No fertilization, NPK fertilization 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, 300 kg/ha, 400 kg/ha, and 500 kg/ha. There were 18 combinations, where each treatment was repeated three times so that there were 54 research units. Parameters observed included plant height, number of productive tillers, age of panicle appear, harvest age, number of panicle grains, percentage of empty grain, 1000 grain weight and production. The results showed that the Pae bohe cultivar with fertilization dose of 500 kg/ha produced the highest number of productive tillers (6.69 per clump), the lower percentage of grain pests (5.34%), and the highest production (3.82 tons/ha)
GROWTH, PHENOLOGICAL, YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS EVALUATION OF SWEET ORANGE (Citrus sinensis L.) CULTIVARS IN RAYA AZEBO WOREDA OF SOUTHERN TIGRAY, ETHIOPIA
Full text linkSweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) is an important fruit produced and consumed worldwide and it’s an excellent source of vitamin C. However, citrus industry in Ethiopia is at an infant stage; which is particularly due to shortage of improved and adapted cultivars and their distribution. Considering these, six sweet orange cultivars were evaluated to select adapted, high yielding and quality cultivar/s. Different growth, phenological, yield and yield component data were collected and analyzed using SAS. Days to maturity was also highly significantly (p<0.01)) affected by cultivars in 2017 cropping year. Fruit weight without rind (flesh weight) and juice weight were highly significantly (p<0.05) affected by cultivars in 2018 harvesting year. Marketable yield, unmarketable yield, and total yield tree-1 were significantly affected by cultivars in both 2017 and 2018 harvesting year. O. Valencia is late matured cultivars which took 1622 days from planting to first harvest. While, P.W.N. is early matured cultivars with average number of days of 1104 from planting to first harvest. In 2017, Hamlin, gave the highest marketable fruit yield tree-1 (68.61 kg) and total yield tree-1 (68.94kg). Jaffa gave significantly the maximum marketable fruit yield tree-1 (197.24 kg) and total yield tree-1 (198.81 kg) in 2018 cropping year. In 2019 harvesting year, Hamlin gave the highest marketable (63.3 kg) and total (64.02 kg) fruit yield tree-1. In average Jaffa and Hamlin gave the maximum marketable fruit yield tree-1 from the three consecutive harvesting years with mean value of 95.38 kg and 72.24 kg respectively. So, in Raya Azebo, and other areas having similar agro-ecologies Jaffa and Hamlin cultivars are recommended. Further, studying the nutritional content and water requirements of these cultivars are suggested
