Evaluasi Pertumbuhan Semai Beberapa Provenan Sungkai (Peronema Canescens Jack) di Kalimantan Selatan
Abstract: Sungkai (Peronema
canescens Jack) is among the species recommended for industrial forest
plantation (IFP) by the Ministry of Forestry. Despite this fact, very little is
known about the extent of genetic variation in wild populations and few
attempts, if any, have been made at genetic improvement. Sungkai cuttings are
collected wherever available, rather than companies seeking high-quality
stockplants. No effort has been made to
increase the quality of cuttings by collecting them from different geographical
origins (provenance test). Cuttings from five provenances in South Kalimantan
were tested at nursery stage in order to indent6 the best provenance. The
result showed that all provenance had a 100% survival rate. Kandangan
provenance was the fastest in finishing shoots formation. There is no
significant difference in term of shoot length however, in average, provenances
from Tambarangan and Tanjung had longer shoots, i.e. 31 cm and 30.65 cm,
respectively.
