EVALUASI KARAKTER AGRONOMI PADI LOKAL ASE TADDAGA GENERASI M3 HASIL INDUKSI MUTASI SINAR GAMMA

Abstract

Thiss research was conducted in pParippung Village, Barebboo District, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province from January to June 2022. This study aims to determine the effect of gamma ray radiation induction on the agronomic character of Ase Taddaga's local rice. This study was designed using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) method which consisted of 3 treatments, namely without radiation as a control, radiation with 200 Gray and radiation with 300 Gray. Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 9 experimental units. The parameters observed were plant height (cm), number of tillers (stems), number of productive tillers (stems), flowering age (days), harvest age (days), malaig length (cm), number of grains (grain), dry grain weight. per clump (g), dry grain weight per plot (g) and dry grain weight per hectare (tonnes). The results showed that the gamma radiation treatment of 200 Grayy and 300 Gray had a good effect on the parameters of plant height, flowering age, harvest age and number of grains. The gamma ray radiation treatment had a significant effect on the parameters of the number of tillers, the number of productive tillers and the length of the panicle. While those that did not have a significant effect were the weight of top dry grain, dry grain weight per plot and ddry grainn weight per hectare.
