<p style="text-align: justify;">Indonesia has extensive acid soil but its utility is still limited because of its low nutrient content. Jatropha is a plant which can grow on various soil types, includes on marginal one, and has used as raw material for biodiesel. Therefore, the growth of jatropha on acid soil need to be studied as an effort for developing jatropha and utility of acid soil in Indonesia. To initiate the effort, research to grow various jatropha genotypes on acid soil was done. The objectives of this research was to obtain a potential tolerant jatropha genotype for acid soil. The research was conducted at UPTD Development of Dryland Technology at Singabraja Village, Tenjo Subdistrict, Bogor, West Java, from November 2010 – August 2011. This research using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with jatropha genotype as factor. The result showed that there were differences in growth among the jatropha genotypes. There are five jatropha genotypes with better growth in acid soil (pH 5.0) compare to others, i.e. Medan I-5-1, Dompu, IP-2P-3-4-1, Sulawesi, and Bima M.</p><p>Keywords: physic nut, genotypes, Jatropha curcas, acid soil</p>
Indonesia memiliki banyak tanah masam, tetapi penggunaan masih sangat sedikit karena kandungan nutrisi tanah masam rendah. Sementara itu, jarak pagar merupakan tanaman yang dapat tumbuh di berbagai jenis tanah (termasuk lahan marjinal) dan penggunaannya sebagai bahan baku biodiesel. Oleh karena itu, perlunya penelitian mengenai pertumbuhan jarak pagar pada tanah masam sebagai upaya untuk mengembangkan jarak pagar dan penggunaannya di Indonesia.Untuk memulai upaya, penelitian tentang berbagai genotipe jarak pagar di tanah masam telah dilakukan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mempelajari genotipe jarak pagar yang berpotensi untuk tanah masam. Penelitian ini dilakukan di UPTD Pengembangan Teknologi Lahan Kering Singabraja, Kecamatan Tenjo, Bogor, Jawa Barat, dari November 2010-Agustus 201. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap Teracak (RKLT) dengan satu faktor yaitu genotipe. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan berbagai perbedaan pada pertumbuhan diantara genotipe-genotipe jarak pagar. Secara umum, ada lima genotipe jarak pagar yang terbaik di tanah masam (pH 5.0) yaitu Medan I-5-1, Dompu, IP-2P-3-4-1, Sulawesi, dan Bima M.
