| dc.description.abstract | This research is based on the attack of Ganoderma spp to a protector plant, sengon. This attack has made a lot of coffee and cacao plantations suffers a great loss. Therefore, it is really important to do a specific research on the process of the inoculation of Ganoderma spp, to prevent such attack. The aim of this research is to understand how the effect of the inoculation to the sengon seed. This research was conducted from October 2009 - March 2010 and held in a greenhouse of Department of Silviculture and Forest Disease Laboratory of the Department of Silviculture. The tools used for research purposes are: SPSS, tally sheet, lid. The materials for this research are the seeds sengon age one and a half months, the timber (diameter 3, 4, and 5 cm), PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) and isolates of Ganoderma species 1 (samples from lamtoro Ciamis area) and species 2 (sample from plants in the region sengon Ciamis) derived from the collection of Forest Pathology Laboratory and will be called SP1 and SP2. There are two majors in the research i.e. non inoculation and inoculation treatments. Each treatment consisted of three observation blocks that are considered equal and each block consisted of four plants as replicates. The non inoculation treatments are all combinations of root and foodbase treatments. Foodbase treatment itself is divided into two i.e. wood piece with varying size (3, 4, and 5 cm diameters) and PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) without inoculation of Ganoderma spp.. The total of treatments are 10. Inoculation treatments are a combination of various treatments of root and foodbase which has inoculated with Ganoderma spp.. Type of Ganoderma spp. were also included in a combination. The total number of inoculation is 15 treats. In general, the result of control treatments calculation has a better average growth compared to the inoculation treatment. This result can be seen on the accretion parameter of heights and leaflets. It is possible to do the observation on the treatment of the inoculation with the negative growth tendencies. The height measurement seed, according to the regulation of The Minister of Forestry no.3 in 2004, is the height measurement from the base of the plant seed to the top growing spot using centimeter unit. From that definition, if the growing point is dead, then the growing spot underneath can be able to replace it, so the height will reduced. The calculation on pathogenity test shows that Ganoderma SP2 has more pathogenic than Ganoderma SP1. This result can be seen on the heights of seeds that were inoculated with Ganoderma SP2 are lesser than the heights of seeds that were inoculated with Ganoderma SP1. On the root treatment application, both controls and treatments blocks show the better growth from sengon seedlings using root cutting treatment. This result corresponds with Deselina works (1999), where root cutting will produce more vigor seeds and stronger roots. This positive result of root cutting application in inoculation treatment, tells us that infection rate of Ganoderma spp is slower than the healing process as the effect of the cutting. The calculation of the effect on the size of sengon seedlings showed that inoculated seedlings in the wood with 3 centimeters diameter as a foodbase hampered both their height and leaflets growth compared to the seedlings with 4 centimeters or 5 centimeters diameter in the same foodbase. This result indicates that wood pieces with 3 centimeters diameter as a foodbase, is more optimal in transmitting Ganoderma spp, than the 4 or 5 centimeters. Application of foodbase type differentiation in sengon seedlings showed that wet foodbases such as PDA is easier than dry foodbases such as wood pieces, in transmitting Ganoderma spp into plant’s roots. This can be seen from the calculation where the inoculated sengon seedlings with the wet foodbase such as PDA, has a higher disruption than the dry one. These results occurred in either height or leaflets parameter. Root sprout ratio measurement in this research shows the effect of the Ganoderma infection on the plant. General calculation of root sprout ratio will generally support the result using SPSS. | en |
