IDENTIFICATION OF LOCAL GARLIC POTENTIAL AND DEVELOPMENT OF GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM L.) RESOURCES IN INDONESIAJulio D.J. Gomes, EkoWidaryanto, Ariffin and Karuniawan P. wicaksonoAbstract The objectives of this study are to identify the potential of 4 types of local garlic (Allium sativum L.) namely variety of Saigon, Layur, Sembalun from Indonesia and Atsabe from Timor Lesteat 2 different altitudes, Wiyurejo village, Pujonsub district, Batu city with an altitude of 1200 meter above sea level (masl), and Cangar research station with the altitude of 1600 masl. The experimental design used was a Nested Completely Randomized design, with parameters observed were : the shoots and roots appearing age, number of leaves, Relative, crop production yields and agronomic characteristics. The results show that V1 variety has better growth, and yield in 1200 (T1) and 1600 (T2)masl, followed by V3, V2 and V4 consecutively. Special information for biomass production, T1V1 in 1200 masl is 5.15 g/plant followed by T1V1, T1V4 and T1V2 in 4.60 g/plant, 4.39 g/plant and 1.42 g/plant respectively. In 1600 masl T2V1 has also the best biomass in 8.08 g/plant followed by T2V3, T2V4 and T2V2 in 5.51 g/plant, 5.20 and 0.60 g/plant respectively. |
