Produksi dan Mutu Fisiologis Benih Sorghum bicolor Varietas Samurai 1 pada Fase F1 dengan Umur Panen yang Berbeda | Production and Physiological Quality of Sorghum Seeds bicolor Samurai 1 in Phase F1 with Different Harvesting Ages

Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari pengaruh umur panen terhadap mutu fisiologis dan viabilitas benih sorgum Samurai 1 pada fase F1. Penelitian dilakukan di laboratorium lapang UP3J IPB dan Laboratorium Agrostologi Fakultas Peternakan IPB University. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan yaitu rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) dengan 5 perlakuan umur panen yaitu pada hari ke-90, 95, 100, 105, dan 110, serta 4-5 kali pengulangan. Peubah yang diamati berupa diameter batang, tinggi tanaman, berat kering biomassa malai, berat segar biomassa per ha, berat kering batang, berat kering daun, berat kering malai, berat kering daun, berat benih, jumlah benih, berat 1000 benih, dan uji viabilitas. Hasil penelitian yang didapat memberikan pengaruh nyata (P<0,05) pada produktivitasnya. Umur panen terbaik untuk mendapatkan mutu fisilogis dan viabilitas terbaik, yaitu pada perlakuan P100 dan P105, sedangkan untuk mendapatkan biomassa kering terbaik yaitu terdapat pada perlakuan P95 yaitu saat sorgum berumur 95 hari setelah tanam.

This study aims to find out the effect of harvest age on the physiological quality and viability of Samurai 1 sorghum seeds in the F1 phase. The research was conducted in the field laboratory of UP3J IPB and the Agrostology Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Science, IPB University. The experimental design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 5 treatments at harvest age, namely on the 90th , 95th , 100th , 105th , 110th days, and 4-5 replicaty. The variables observed were stem diameter, plant height, dry weight of panicle biomass, total fresh weight, stem dry weight, leaf dry weight, panicle dry weight, leaf dry weight, seed weight, quantity of seeds, weight of 1000 seeds, and viability test. The results obtained showed a significant effect (P<0.05) in productivity. The best harvest age to get the best physiological quality and viability, at the P100 an P105 treatment, while to get the best dry biomass that is found in the P95 treatment, namely when sorghum is 95 days after planting.
