Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate changes in agronomic performances of some sweet potato cultivars planted in the rain-fed dry land and paddy fields. Completely randomized block design with three replications on a single factor of 12 sweet potato cultivars was done in two locations. The first location is the rain-fed dry land that formerly planted corn; located in Jatikerto, Kromengan District, and second is an irrigated paddy field that previously planted with rice, located in Wringinsongo, Tumpang District, Malang Regency. All cultivars that planted in both locations were applied to packaged standard cultivation technology for sweet potato. The parameters observed were storage root weight and vines weight (kg/plant), storage root yields and vines yield (t/ha), harvest index (%) and root/shoot ratio to describe the efficiency level of dry matter translocation to storage root. The results showed that there was a change of agronomic performance in sweet potato cultivars that planted between on the dry land and paddy fields, especially for storage root weight, storage root yield (t/ha) and root/shoot ratio. Changes in the sweet potato cultivation in the dry land to paddy fields are shown by an increase in storage root yields ranging from 2-4 times or reach 206 - 417%.

Abstract

This trial was aimed to evaluate the performance of sweet potato cultivars on biochar application. The treatments were carried out using a Split-plot Design with three replications. The cultivars were placed on main plots and biochar doses were on sub-plots. The thirteen cultivars consisted of seven varieties and six accessions from Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University and Brawijaya University collections. The applied biochar doses were B0 (0 t/ha) and B1 (5 t/ha). The experimental unit measuring of 5 m x 0.6 m consisted of single row and planted with a spacing of 25 cm in row or 20 cuttings/row. The storage root weight, % dry matter, storage root dry weight, dry weight of biomass, harvest index and yield estimation were determined. The results showed that the sweet potato cultivars gave a significant response to the biochar application on fresh storage root weight, storage root dry weight, biomass dry weight, harvest index and storage root yields, but no interaction between cultivars and biochar doses. Storage root yield ranged from 8 to 21 t/ha without biochar and from 10 to 23 t/ha with 5 t biochar /ha, except for Beta 1 and Boko. The use of 5 t biochar /ha increased storage root yields that ranged from 8 to 45%.
