RESUMEN
By integrating balanced rice growing technology components, getting rice organoleptic tests from the rice produced, and learning about the community acceptability of the applied technology components, this study seeks to ascertain the growth response and NSV production of specific and site-specific rice. The study was carried out in rice paddies. five different types of technology bundles in a randomized group trial design. Each treatment unit and replication in the five iterations of the experiment used 0.3 ha. Acceptance in the community using a survey approach with fifty participants. The results indicated that the Inpari 42 and Inpari 45 seedlings developed the tallest plants between 77 and 81 days after planting. Inpari 32 had the most tillers, which was the same as Inpari 42 and Pamelen. Pamelen yielded the most productive tillers and the least amount of non-productive tillers. The largest plant height was measured 98-102 days following the Inpari 42 seedlings, while the highest number of tillers were found in Pamelen, Inpari 32, and Inpari 42. Inpari 42 has the widest flag leaf area. The most abundant grain component produced by Inpari 42 is the number of grains per panicle and the full grain per panicle. The highest production is produced by Inpari 32. The panelists' favored rice varieties were Inpari 32, Inpari 42, and Inpari 45 based on the rice's organoleptic test results (color, aroma, taste, and texture). Inpari 32, Inpari 45, and Inpari Nutrizinc rice had greater brightness. Inpari 45 is yellowish, and Pamelen is quite red. Pamelen and Inpari Nutrizinc are the same. The high adoption rate of 8766 % and the rapid diffusion of applied technology to nearby villages and other regions indicate that the community has a very positive attitude toward technology.
RESUMEN
Fusarium oxysporum formae specialis cubense (Foc) is a soil-borne fungus that causes Fusarium wilt, which is considered to be the most destructive disease of bananas. The fungus is believed to have evolved with its host in the Indo-Malayan region, and from there it was spread to other banana-growing areas with infected planting material. The diversity and distribution of Foc in Asia was investigated. A total of 594 F. oxysporum isolates collected in ten Asian countries were identified by vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) analysis. To simplify the identification process, the isolates were first divided into DNA lineages using PCR-RFLP analysis. Six lineages and 14 VCGs, representing three Foc races, were identified in this study. The VCG complex 0124/5 was most common in the Indian subcontinent, Vietnam and Cambodia; whereas the VCG complex 01213/16 dominated in the rest of Asia. Sixty-nine F. oxysporum isolates in this study did not match any of the known VCG tester strains. In this study, Foc VCG diversity in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sri Lanka was determined for the first time and VCGs 01221 and 01222 were first reported from Cambodia and Vietnam. New associations of Foc VCGs and banana cultivars were recorded in all the countries where the fungus was collected. Information obtained in this study could help Asian countries to develop and implement regulatory measures to prevent the incursion of Foc into areas where it does not yet occur. It could also facilitate the deployment of disease resistant banana varieties in infested areas.
