Pola Pewarisan Adaptasi Kedelai (Glycine Max L. Merrill) terhadap Cekaman Naungan Berdasarkan Karakter Morfo-Fisiologi Daun

The objective of this study was to analyze the inheritance pattern of soybean adaptation to shade stress based on leaf morpho-physiological characters. Genetic materials used in this study consisted of 22 plants of low irradiance (LI)-tolerant genotype (Ceneng) and 22 plants of LI-sensitive genotype (Godek); 21 plants of F1 (Ceneng x Godek); and 114 plants of F2 populations (derived from F1). These populations were planted under shading of paranet 50%. The population was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with two replicates. Analysis of inheritance of soybean adaptation involved estimation of heritability (broad sense) and gene action. Results of this study showed that: adaptation of soybean to low light stress based on characters of yield per plant was highly heritable (68% of broad sense) with partial dominant mode of action. Characters of leaf area and specific leaf weight were highly (68% of broad sense) and moderately (48% of broad sense) heritable, respectively, with additive mode of action. Soybean adaptation based on leaf physiological characters (chlorophyll contents) was highly heritable (70% - 86% of broad sense) in epistatic mode of action

Penilaian Kondisi Jalan Poros Sabbang Selatan Menggunakan Metode Surface Distress Index

Prasarana jalan jika terbebani volume lalu lintas yang tinggi dan berulang-ulang akan menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan kualitas jalan sehingga dapat mempengaruhi keamanan, Kenyamanan dan kelancaran dalam berlalu lintas. Untuk menjaga agar tidak terjadi penurunan kondisi khususnya pada jalan poros Kecamatan Sabbang Selatan Kabupaten Luwu Utara tepatnya di jalan Padang Sarre, Buntu Terpedo sampai jalan Dandang sepanjang 4 km perlu adanya penanganan. Maka perlu dilakukan penelitian awal terhadap kondisi permukaan jalan dengan melakukan survei secara visual dengan cara menganalisa kerusakan berdasarkan jenis dantingkat kerusakannya. Tujuan penelitian yaitu menilai kondisi perkerasan danpenanganan sesuai kondisi permukaan jalan. Penelitian ini menggunakan system penilaian kondisi perkerasan menurut Bina Marga dengan perhitungan Surface Distress Index (SDI) untuk jalan beraspal. Dari hasil penelitian di dapatkan penilaian untuk jenis kerusakan permukaan jalan pada ruas kanan yaitu retak pinggir 1,183%, lubang 0,031%, amblas 0,054%, retak kulit buaya 3,271%, retak kotak-kotak 3,222%, tambalan 0,033% dan pengelupasan butir 0,013%. Sedangkan untuk ruas kiri yaitu retak pinggir 0,035%, lubang 0,051%, amblas 0,000%, retak kulit buaya 0,130%, retak kotak-kotak 2,351%, tambalan 0,000% dan pengelupasan butir 0,150%. Kondisi perkerasan jalan yang menjadi objek penelitian sepanjang 4 km yaitu 85% baik, 0% sedang, 15% rusak ringan, 0% rusakberat.Road infrastructure if it is burdened by high and repetitive traffic volumes will cause a decrease in road quality so that it can affect safety, comfort and smoothness in traffic. To prevent deterioration in conditions, especially on the axis road of South Sabbang District, North Luwu Regency, precisely on Padang Sarre road, Buntu Terpedo to Dandang road along 4 km, it needs handling. So it is necessary to conduct an initial research on road surface conditions by conducting a visual survey by analyzing the damage based on the type and level of damage. The research objective was to assess pavement conditions and handling according to road surface conditions. This study uses a pavement condition assessment system according to Bina Marga with the calculation of the Surface Distress Index (SDI) for asphalt roads. From the research results obtained an assessment for the type of road surface damage on the right side, namely edge cracks 1.183%, holes 0.031%, collapse 0.054%, crocodile skin cracks 3.271%, checkered cracks 3.222%, 0.033% patches and 0.013% peeling grains. Whereas for the left section, the edges cracked 0.035%, holes 0.051%, collapsed 0.000%, crocodile skin cracks 0.130%, checkered cracks 2.351%, fillings 0.000% and peeling 0.150%. The condition of the pavement which is the object of the research along 4 km is 85% good, 0% moderate, 15% lightly damaged, 0% heavily damaged

Socialization Of Dry Land Agricultural Development And Deep Groundwater Utilization In Salut Village, Kayaangan District, Lombok Utara Regency

The potential for dry land in North Lombok is very wide with the surrounding rivers mostly dry during the dry season. Sambik Rindang Hamlet is one of the dry lands that has the potential for productive agriculture, but has not been able to be utilized optimally. For this reason, the people of Sambik Rindang need to be given knowledge about this through socialization, so that they can make efficient use of dry land and groundwater so that farming can be carried out outside the rainy season. The aim of the socialization is to increase people's knowledge about irrigation water efficiency and irrigation methods for agriculture in dry land. This socialization was carried out with the stages of field review, field socialization, discussion and question and answer, evaluation and closing. Furthermore, this socialization service has succeeded in providing knowledge about efficient irrigation such as drip irrigation and pipelines, with productive farming. The service participants were very enthusiastic about participating in the socialization activities, questions about agriculture and irrigation were answered well by the team from the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Engineering. Evaluation of activities is carried out by the service team, from the field socialization activities to the end of the activity. The service participants were very proactive during the activity and had knowledge about efficient irrigation and productive farming methods. Thus the service participants have known efficient irrigation methods and have gained knowledge in utilizing dry land in order to have an economic impact on the family

Genetic diversity of red and black upland rice accessions from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia as revealed by agro-morphological characters

Abstract. Mau YS, Markus JER, Shirly, Oematan S, Ndiwa ASS, Handoko DD, Nasution A, Makbul K. 2017. Genetic diversity of red and black upland rice accessions from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia as revealed by agro-morphological characters. Biodiversitas 18: 197-211. A number of upland red and black rice accessions were collected from various locations of East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This germplasm collection is invaluable genetic resource that can be utilized to generate new improved varieties. The objective of the present study was to elucidate genetic diversity of the rice germplasm based on agro-morphological characters. The study was carried out in the Glasshouse involving 40 upland red and black rice accessions. Observed variables included qualitative and quantitative agro-morphological characters. A total of 26 qualitative and 16 quantitative characters were observed. Qualitative characters were descriptively analyzed while quantitative characters were subjected to analysis of variance. Both data were also subjected to cluster analysis. Research results revealed a significant difference among rice accessions in both qualitative and quantitative characters. The tested rice accessions exhibited substantial differences in most of the observed qualitative and quantitative variables. Cluster analysis employing qualitative variables classified the rice accessions into 4 clusters and 15 sub-clusters. The same analysis using quantitative characters placed the 40 rice accessions into 5 clusters and 8 sub-clusters. Evaluation of agro-morphological characters demonstrated that the rice germplasm under the present study possessed a high genetic diversity.
