Peningkatan Produksi dan Mutu Benih Kubis Bunga melalui Pemupukan Boron dan Penggunaan Naungan Plastik Transparan

Bunga kubis merupakan sayuran sehat yang banyak diminati konsumen. Dalam peningkatan produksi tanaman sayuran, khususnya bunga kubis maka yang sangat perlu diperhatikan adalah kualitas perbenihannya. Oleh karena itu dilakukan kegiatan penelitian untuk menghasilkan benih bunga kubis yang bermutu. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi pupuk boron yang tepat dan teknik penanaman untuk peningkatan perbenihan kubis bunga. Penelitian dilakukan di KP Berastagi mulai dari bulan Januari sampai Oktober 2014. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) pola faktorial dengan empat ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah dosis pupuk boron (B0 = tanpa pupuk boron, B1 = 5 kg/ha, B2 = 10 kg/ha, B3 = 15 kg/ha, B4 = 20 kg/ha, B5 = 25 kg/ha). Faktor kedua adalah teknik penanaman (N1 = tanpa naungan, N2 = menggunakan naungan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian boron 15 kg/ha dapat meningkatkan jumlah cabang, jumlah polong, jumlah dan bobot benih per tanaman, serta persentase benih tumbuh per tanaman pada perbenihan kubis bunga. Pemakaian naungan dapat meningkatkan jumlah tangkai, jumlah polong, jumlah dan bobot benih per tanaman pada perbenihan kubis bunga

Karakterisasi Dan Evaluasi Markisa Asam Hibrid Hasil Persilangan Markisa Asam Ungu Dan Merah (Passiflora SP.) (Characterization and Evaluation of Passion Fruit Acid Hybrid From Purple and Red Passion Fruit Acid Crossing)

Persilangan merupakan upaya memperbesar keragaman genetik dengan memadukan sifat tetua untuk mendapatkan varietas unggul. Saat ini tanaman markisa ungu merupakan buah yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi, dan sebagai bahan baku untuk pembuatan sirup. Namun, bobot buah markisa ungu tergolong kecil sehingga perlu dilakukan persilangan antara markisa asam ungu dan merah untuk mendapatkan markisa asam hibrid yang lebih unggul. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui karakter calon varietas markisa asam hasil persilangan markisa asam ungu dan markisa asam merah, dan melihat keunggulannya dibandingkan dengan markisa asam ungu. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Berastagi, Kecamatan Dolat Rayat, Kabupaten Karo, Provinsi Sumatera Utara, dengan ketinggian tempat 1.340 m di atas permukaan laut (dpl.) dan jenis tanah Andisol. Kegiatan dilakukan pada kurun waktu 2008 – 2010 dengan kegiatan meliputi persilangan antara markisa asam ungu dan merah, serta karakterisasi dan evaluasi yang dilakukan pada benih, daun, dan buah dari markisa asam hibrid dan tetuanya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa markisa asam hibrid mempunyai beberapa keunggulan, antara lain bobot buah lebih besar (110–130 g) dibanding markisa asam ungu dan merah (49,52 – 56,08 g dan 79,21 – 120,51 g), sari buah kental, ukuran buah lebih besar, dan sedikit beraroma jambu biji. Kandungan kimia buah (total padatan terlarut/TSS) buah markisa asam hibrid secara umum sama dengan markisa asam ungu, yaitu 16o Brix, sedangkan markisa asam merah nilainya lebih tinggi, yaitu 19o Brix. Total asam markisa asam hibrid lebih tinggi dibanding dengan kedua tetuanya 4,42%, sedangkan vitamin C lebih rendah, 34,65 mg/100 g bahan. Hasil preferensi konsumen terhadap rasa buah markisa asam ungu dan hibrid menunjukkan bahwa para panelis menyukai rasa kedua markisa tersebut, sedangkan untuk aroma, markisa asam ungu lebih disukai dibanding markisa asam hibrid.KeywordsPassiflora sp.; Markisa asam; Karakterisasi; Evaluasi; Persilanga
