Judul: Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) Seed Sorting and The Relationship of Seed Size with Seed Quality
Abstrak: Kedelai merupakan komoditas palawija penting dan permintaan konsumsinya terus meningkat. Produktivitas kedelai nasional tergolong rendah sehingga belum mampu memenuhi permintaan nasional. Produksi kedelai nasional dapat ditingkatkan dengan penggunaan benih bermutu. Mutu benih sangat berkaitan dengan ukuran benih. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh ukuran benih terhadap mutu benih kedelai. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan faktor ukuran benih yang terdiri dari empat taraf yaitu ukuran besar, sedang, kecil, dan campuran, serta dilakukan pengulangan sebanyak tiga ulangan. Varietas Grobogan ukurannya relatif lebih besar dibandingkan varietas Demas 1. Benih Grobogan dengan diameter ≥ 0,67 cm dikategorikan benih ukuran besar, sedangkan diameter ≤ 0,61 cm dikategorikan benih berukuran kecil. Benih Demas 1, ukuran besar memiliki diameter ≥ 0,50 cm dan benih ukuran kecil memiliki diameter ≤ 0,47 cm. Ukuran benih berpengaruh nyata terhadap bobot kering kecambah normal varietas Grobogan dan Demas 1, dan pengaruh nyata terhadap indeks vigor benih kedelai varietas Demas 1. Ukuran benih kecil Demas 1 menunjukkan indeks vigor dan BKKN tertinggi, sebaliknya ukuran benih besar Grobogan menunjukkan BKKN tertinggi. Ukuran benih kecil menunjukkan daya hantar listrik lebih rendah. Benih ukuran kecil menunjukkan kemunduran vigor yang relatif lebih rendah setelah pengusangan cepat. Laju imbibisi dipengaruhi luas penampang yang dibuktikan dengan varietas Grobogan yang memiliki ukuran lebih besar memiliki laju imbibisi lebih besar dibandingkan benih kedelai Demas 1. Pemilahan benih kedelai mampu memisahkan benih menjadi empat kategori, dan benih berkategori kecil memiliki viabilitas, vigor, dan vigor daya simpan lebih tinggi., Soybean is an important grain commodities and its consumption demand increases, yearly. Soybean productivity in Indonesia is recorded low, and could not suply the national demand. Soybean production could be increased by encourage the use of seed high-quality. Seed quality closely correlates to seed size. The research was aimed to obtaine the seed size effect on viability and vigor of soybean seed. A Randomized Completely Design with three replications was applied, and the factor was seed size that consist of four sizes, i.e. large, immadiate, medium, small, and mixture. Grobogan variety had a larger size than Demas 1. Seed size chategorizes on Grobogan were ≥ 0,67 cm (large) and ≤ 0,61 cm (small), while on Demas 1 were ≥ 0,50 cm (large) and ≤ 0,47 cm (small). The seed size has a significant effect on dry weight of normal seedling (DWNS) both variety, and vigor index of Demas 1. Small seed resulted the highest vigor index and DWNS on Demas 1, contrary, large seed showed the highest DWNS on Grobogan. Small seed also resulted the lowest electry conductivity more than other sizes. Small seed manifested the lower vigor detioration after accelarate ageing test, relatively. Imibition rates exteremly affected by cross-sectional area of the seed. It was evidenced of Grobogan that chategorized was large seed, where its imbibition rates higher than Demas 1. Sortation of soybean seed could separated the seed in four size groups, i.e. small, medium, large, and mixture. Small seed indicated the high viability, vigor, and seed longevity-vigor.

Judul: The Effect of Mung Bean Seed Size on the Physiological Quality of Mung Bean Seed
Abstrak: Kacang hijau termasuk salah satu komoditas unggul ekspor tanaman pangan. Upaya untuk meningkatkan produksi kacang hijau harus diimbangi dengan penyediaan benih yang memiliki nilai mutu benih tinggi. Mutu fisik dan mutu fisiologis termasuk dari aspek mutu benih. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh ukuran benih terhadap mutu fisiologis benih kacang hijau pada varietas Vima 1 dan Vima 3. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei sampai Juli 2023. Tempat pelaksanaan penelitian di Laboratorium Pengolahan Benih Seed Center dan Laboratorium Penyimpanan dan Pengujian Mutu Benih, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan faktor tunggal yaitu ukuran benih dengan empat taraf ukuran (besar, sedang, kecil dan campuran). Taraf ukuran campuran berasal dari kondisi awal tanpa pemilahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ukuran benih pada varietas Vima 1 berpengaruh terhadap bobot kering kecambah normal, indeks vigor setelah pengusangan, daya hantar listrik sebelum dan setelah pengusangan. Ukuran benih varietas Vima 3 berpengaruh terhadap indeks vigor setelah pengusangan, daya hantar listrik sebelum dan setelah pengusangan. Benih berukuran besar pada varietas Vima 1 memiliki bobot kering kecambah normal paling tinggi 0,85 g dengan kebocoran membran paling rendah dan nilai daya hantar listriknya 21,70 μS/ cm.g. Benih berukuran besar pada varietas Vima 3 memiliki nilai daya hantar listrik paling rendah disaat sebelum pengusangan 24,44 μS/ cm.g dan setelah pengusangan 18,60 μS/ cm.g. Benih berukuran besar hasil pemilahan dengan air screen cleaner menunjukkan mutu paling baik pada kedua varietas., Green beans are one of the leading export commodities for food crops. Efforts to increase green bean production must be balanced with the provision of seeds that have high seed quality values. Physical quality and physiological quality are included in the aspect of seed quality. This study aims to analyze the effect of seed size on the physiological quality of mung bean seeds in Vima 1 and Vima 3 varieties. This research was conducted from May to July 2023. The location of the research was the Seed Center Seed Processing Laboratory and Seed Quality Testing and Storage Laboratory, Institute of Agriculture Bogor. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor, namely seed size with four size levels (large, medium, small, and mixed). Mixed-size levels are derived from the initial conditions without sorting. The results showed that the seed size of the Vima 1 variety had an effect on the dry weight of normal sprouts, the vigor index after being worn out, and the electrical conductivity before and after being worn out. The seed size of the Vima 3 variety has an effect on the vigor index after obsolescence, and electrical conductivity before and after obsolescence. The large seeds of the Vima 1 variety had the highest dry weight of normal sprouts at 0.85 g with the lowest membrane leakage and an electrical conductivity value of 21.70 μS/ cm.g. Large seeds of the Vima 3 variety have the lowest electrical conductivity value before aging 24.44 μS/ cm.g and after aging 18.60 μS/cm.g. Large seeds as a result of sorting with air screen cleaner show the best quality in both varieties.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
