Abstract:
This study aims to evaluate the resistance of soybean varieties to Sclerotium wilt disease and its production. The study was conducted for 3 months, from July - September 2017, in the 11th District Unit of the Manokwari. The study was conducted using Randomized Block Design which was repeated three replications. The treatment consists of 5 varieties of soybeans, namely varieties Burangrang, Grobogan, Dena-1, Anjasmoro, and Detam-1. There is no pathogen inoculation treatment in the field. Parameters observed included Sclrotium wilt disease intensity, number of branches, number of leaves, plant height, number of seeds per pod, weight per 100 seeds, and seed weight per plot. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variants (ANOVA), if a significant effect of treatment, it is followed by BNT test at level of 95%. Varieties tested had different responses to leaf number parameters, plant height and number of branches. The number of leaves, plant height and number of branches increased until the third observation, in the fourth observation there is a decrease and there is an increase. Dena-1 varieties includes highly resistant varieties, Detam-1 resistant varieties Burangrangv moderate resistant, while Anjasmoro and Grobogan varieties that are susceptible to the Sclerotium wilt disease. The weight of seeds per plot of Dena-1 varieties is 673,33 g/ha (1,427.77 kg/ha) higher than the other varieties.
