Abstract

Mindi (Melia azedarach L.) is mostly found in community forests of West Java. One of the important factors affecting productivity of community forests is the use of quality seed. Due to scarcity of seed sources, however, seed quality is not easily available. Currently, community forests serve also as ad hoc seed sources that are usually without appropriate quality assessment. This research was aimed to determine baseline information on spatial variability of mindi fruits collected from five seed sources, and seedling growths treated in seven different growing media consisting mixtures of soil, rice husk, sand and cattle manure. Five mindi populations were selected in the following villages: Nagrak (Bogor), Babakan Rema (Kuningan), Padasari (Sumedang), Sukakarya (Bogor) and Gambung (Bandung). The results showed that variability of seed dimension (CV=4.82-14.37%) and seedling growth (11.79-21.77%) were moderate. The mindi fruits from Nagrak were found to be the biggest in terms of size (1.22 ± 0.17 cm), weight (0.40 ± 0.04 g), and seed set (85.47 ± 15.09%). In addition, the seedling growth from Nagrak was also better than those of other villages showing its potential for future seed sources. Growing media containing cattle manure were observed consistently to be the best for seedling growth. The findings are useful in supporting scientifically the selection of seed sources from community forests.

Abstract

Khairun University Campus IV is currently being developed as an educational tourism location. One form of activity is developing agricultural land. The problem there is that the land is still not very fertile. Efforts that can be made are by developing ectomycorrhizal inoculants to increase soil fertility. Community service activities are directed at providing training to the community around Campus IV Unkhair in producing ectomycorrhizal inoculants. Ectomycorrhiza has several benefits for plants, namely being able to increase the uptake of P and N nutrients. The series of service activities carried out are providing training and practice in exploring ectomycorrhiza in the forest around the Unkhair campus IV area, training in the production of ectomycorrhizal inoculants, and training in applying ectomycorrhizal inoculants on agricultural land.
