Judul: Preliminary Yield Test of Several Mutant Lines of  Situgintung Upland Rice in Dry Land
Abstrak: Peningkatan jumlah penduduk setiap tahun menuntut adanya peningkatan produksi padi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pangan. Budidaya padi gogo menjadi upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan produksi padi di Indonesia dengan mengoptimalkan penggunaan lahan kering. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi daya hasil dan komponen hasil dari 10 galur mutan padi gogo Situgintung. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Pusat Riset Teknologi Proses Radiasi (PRTPR), ORTN-BRIN, Lebak Bulus, Jakarta Selatan pada bulan Januari hingga Agustus 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan faktor tunggal yaitu genotipe sebagai perlakuan yang disusun dalam rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak dengan 3 ulangan. Uji beda nyata jujur digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan antar perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh galur mutan yang diuji memiliki produktivitas yang sama dibandingkan dengan dua varietas pembanding Limboto dan Situgintung, kecuali galur G107 dan G29 yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan kedua varietas pembanding serta galur G229 juga nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan varietas Situgintung. Beberapa karakter menunjukkan korelasi positif terhadap produktivitas galur mutan padi gogo, meliputi lebar daun bendera, panjang batang, jumlah anakan produktif, jumlah anakan total, jumlah gabah bernas, persentase gabah bernas, jumlah gabah total, dan kerapatan gabah per malai. Karakter yang berkorelasi negatif terhadap produktivitas adalah persentase gabah hampa., The increase in population every year demands an increase in rice production to fulfill food needs. Upland rice cultivation is an effort to enhance rice production in Indonesia by optimizing dry land use. This study aimed to identify the yield capacity and yield components of 10 mutant lines of Situgintung upland rice. The research was carried out at the Experimental Station of the Radiation Process Technology Research Center (PRTPR), ORTN-BRIN, Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta from January to August 2023. This experiment used a single factor, namely genotype as treatment, which was arranged in a randomized complete group design with 3 replications. The honest significant difference test was used to determine differences between treatments. The results showed that all the mutant lines tested had the same productivity compared to the two check varieties Limboto and Situgintung, except for lines G107 and G29 which were higher than the two check varieties, and lines G229 which was higher than Situgintung varieties. Several characters showed a positive correlation with the productivity of upland rice mutant lines, including flag leaf width, stem length, number of productive tillers, total number of tillers, number of pithy grains, percentage of pithy grains, total grain number, and grain density per panicle. Characters that have a negative correlation with productivity was the percentage of empty grain.

Judul: Advance Yield Trial of the Promising Mutant Lines of Gajah Mungkur Upland Rice
Abstrak: Pemuliaan tanaman adalah kegiatan yang dilakukan untuk memperbaiki karakter tanaman yang diwariskan pada suatu populasi baru dengan sifat genetik baru. Terdapat beberapa metode dalam pemuliaan tanaman seperti metode introduksi, persilangan, bioteknologi, dan mutasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji daya hasil dan komponen hasil dari 10 galur mutan harapan padi gogo Gajah Mungkur. Penelitian ini dilaksankan di Kebun Percobaan PAIR-BATAN, Lebak Bulus, Jakarta Selatan pada bulan April sampai Agustus 2021. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan kelompok lengkap teracak (RKLT) satu faktor dengan tiga ulangan. Galur yang diuji sebanyak 10 galur dengan dua varietas pembanding yaitu varietas Gajah Mungkur dan Limboto. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produktivitas galur PMG-04-Psj, dan PMG-06-Psj cenderung lebih tinggi dibandingkan varietas pembanding Gajah Mungkur. Jumlah anakan produktif galur PMG-01-Psj, PMG-02-Psj, PMG-04-Psj, dan PMG-06-Psj berbeda nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan varietas Gajah Mungkur dan tidak berbeda nyata dari varietas Limboto. Komponen hasil untuk karakter panjang malai dan jumlah gabah per malai galur PMG-02-Psj, PMG-04-Psj, dan PMG-06-Psj nyata lebih tinggi terhadap varietas Gajah Mungkur tetapi nyata lebih rendah terhadap varietas Limboto. Selain itu, karakter bobot 1000 butir padi galur PMG-04-Psj dan PMG-06-Psj tidak berbeda nyata terhadap varietas Gajah Mungkur dan berbeda nyata lebih tinggi terhadap varietas Limboto., Plant breeding is an activity carried out to improve the character of plants which is carried out at a certain time with new characteristics. There are several methods in plant breeding such as introduction, crossbreeding, biotechnology, and mutation methods. This study aimed to examine the yield and yield components of 10 promising mutant lines of upland rice Gajah Mungkur. This research was carried out at the PAIR-BATAN Experimental Garden, Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta from April to August 2021. The experiment used a one-factor randomized complete block design (RKLT) with three replications. There were 10 lines tested with two comparison varieties, namely Gajah Mungkur and Limboto varieties. The results showed that the productivity of the lines PMG-04-Psj, and PMG-06-Psj tended to be higher than the comparison variety Gajah Mungkur. The number of productive tillers of the PMG-01-Psj, PMG-02-Psj, PMG-04-Psj, and PMG-06-Psj lines was significantly higher than the Gajah Mungkur variety and not significantly different from the Limboto variety. Yield components for panicle length and grain count per panicle of PMG-02-Psj, PMG-04-Psj, and PMG-06-Psj lines were significantly higher for the Gajah Mungkur variety but significantly lower for the Limboto variety. In addition, the weight character of 1000 grains of rice lines PMG-04-Psj and PMG-06-Psj was not significantly different from the Gajah Mungkur variety and significantly higher to the Limboto variety.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
