Diversity of morphological characters and seed growth of (Amorphaluus muelleri) plants based on sources of planting materials and growth media

Abstract

Amorphaluus muelleri has been popular among farmers, with the high demand in the world market. However, the information and knowledge on the provision of seed sources, which is also one of the limiting factors in A. muelleri cultivation technology. This research aimed to identify and characterize the morphological diversity and growth response of A. muelleri plants in polybags with two treatments of growing media as seed sources. This research was conducted in Pakuwon experimental station, the IIBCRI, Sukabumi, from October 2020 – April 2021. The study was conducted in a factorial randomized block design with two factors; source of planting materials (seeds, bulbils, small tubers), and growing media, soil + organic manure (1:1), and soil+organic manure+husk charcoal (1:1:1). The results showed the variability of morphological characters in weight of 100 grains, shape of sources, stem height, age of fully open leaf plants, stem diameter, number of leaves, the emergence of second shoots, canopy diameter, and presence of bulbils. While the results on plant growth rates of the interaction between the factors only occurred on plant height, shoots number, and tuber weight. Planting material from bulbils and growing media with the addition of husk charcoal gave the best response to each variable.

Test Of Various Bulbil Sizes And Dolomite Dosages On Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume.) Growth In Peat Media

“…Administration of dolomite at a dose of 7.5 tons, ha-1 resulted in a relatively better number of leaflets than other dolomite doses. Firdaus et al (2022) state that the formation of the leaves and leaflets quantity is determined by the number and size of cells and is influenced by the nutrient content in the soil. According to Ilham et al (2019), dolomite administration can increase nutrient availability in peat media due to increased soil reaction (pH).…”

“…However, planting material in the form of bulbil has a low level of uniformity, so it is necessary to study the size of bulbil that is effective as planting material. Based on Firdaus et al (2022) research, bulbil measuring 2.5 g and 5 g can be used as planting material for porang propagation. In addition to using propagation materials, efforts are needed to increase porang and extensification production and productivity.…”

Identification of Morphology and Relationships of Porang Plants (Amorphophallus Muelleri Blume) in Kumpeh Ulu District, Muaro Jambi Regency

“…The identification of porang plants diversity based on morphological characters has been widely reported, especially for the island of Java. The diversity of porang plants has also been studied in various regions i.e; identification of morphology and agronomic variables of Amorphophallus in Central Java and East Java (Rahayu et al, 2013), on the distribution map of porang in Malang Raya , on analysis of genetic variation of porang in East Java based on the trnL intron sequence (Rosidiani et al, 2013), exploration and identification of morphological characters of porang in East Java (Sulistiyo et al, 2015), genetic diversity of porang in West Java (Nikmah et al, 2017) and identification of morphology of porang in Nganjuk, Madiun, and Bojonegoro regencies , observation of the morphological characters of porang plants in the Lamongan sub-district , diversity of morphological characters and seed growth of Amorphaluus muelleri plants in Pakuwon (Firdaus et al 2022).…”
