POTENSI TINGKAT PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN AREN (Arenga pinnata MERR.) DI KABUPATEN HULU SUNGAI TENGAH KALIMANTAN SELATAN

Abstract

Arenga pinnata is a plant that has potential for the community as a source of income that can improve the welfare of the community because most of them get a source of income from processing this plant. Almost all parts of the sugar palm plant can be utilized, from the roots to the male flower bunches that can produce sap.Plant structure is the organization of individuals in space and composition is the arrangement of forest stands that includes the number of species or the number of individuals. Composition means also studying the distribution of a plant species based on density, frequency and dominance value. Vegetation structure is the result of spatial planning by stand components or plant communities in a community both vertically and horizontally. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential distribution of sugar palm growth rates in one of the districts in South Kalimantan, Hulu Sungai Tengah. The analysis was carried out by calculating the significant value index (INP) based on the values of Density, Frequency and Dominance. Data were collected using the plotted path method. The results showed that the density of sugar palm seedlings was very large, with an average of 13,055 seedlings/Ha (INP: 200%), the average pole density was 217 stems/Ha and the tree level averaged 90 trees/Ha. The number of panicles, which is the part that is used as raw material for making brown sugar, amounts to an average of 90 panicles/ha.

The diversity of utilizations, tapping flow discharge, and conservation of sugar palm (Arenga longipes Mogea) cultivated in Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia

“…Widarwati et al (2017) stated that the best tapping conditions occurred in sugar palm that was 8-9 years old when the mayang flowers had come out. According to Fatriani et al (2012), the decline in sap productivity was due to the age of the palm trees getting older, thereby reducing the productivity of the sap produced.…”

“…The correlation value (R 2 ) on the productivity of the sap in the morning is 0.5, which means that the effect of the variable in the form of panicle circumference on the productivity of the sap in the morning is 50%, while the correlation value (R 2 ) on the productivity of the sap in the afternoon is 0.9404 which means the influence of the panicle circumference variable on the productivity of the sap in the afternoon is 94.04%. Naemah et al (2022) also stated that the more panicles on the sugar palm plant, the more sap obtained. The relationship between male inflorescence and sap productivity is shown in Figure 11.…”

Palm Sugar Production and Marketing Assistance in Duampanuae Village, Bulupoddo District

“…Hingga saat ini, sektor gula aren masih menjadi bisnis sampingan bagi banyak orang, terutama di pedesaan. Mereka tidak terlalu berharap pada industri gula aren karena pendapatannya yang sangat rendah (Radam & Rezekiah, 2015).…”

Analisis Etnosains Proses Pembuatan Tempoyak Durian Dan Gula Aren Sebagai Sumber Belajar Sains

“…Gula aren merupakan gula yang dibuat dari hasil deresan pohon aren. Sebagian besar orang lebih menyukai gula aren karena dianggap lebih harum, enak dan bersih (Radam & Rezekiah, 2015). Pelealu et al, (2011) menyatakan bahwa gula aren ternyata sudah dibuat bahkan digunakan selama berabad-abad oleh bangsa Indonesia dan di beberapa daerah di Indonesia, menjadikan gula aren ini sebagai usaha/bisnis yang pemasarannya bukan hanya di dalam negeri bahkan telah mencapai pasaran internasional (Kutacane, 2009).…”
