Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a cereal crop that has potential to be cultivated and can be relied upon as a source of ruminant animal feed, especially in marginal and dry areas in Indonesia. This study aims to find out the potential of sorghum plants as alternative feed ruminant cattle in South Konawe district. This study used 13 strains of Sorghum namely SAAR/2/*WAXWING, O/HP-82-A-15-1-4, O/HP-12-A1-1-9, O/HP-78-A22-3-7, O/HP-6-A8-2-10, O/HP-22-A27-1-10, O/HP-92-A1-1-3, O/HP-12-A5-4-5, O/HP-78-A2-5-2, O/HP-82-A15-2-3, GURI 3, GURI 5 and GURI 7. The research began with the manufacture of a bed measuring 2.5 m x 5 m with a distance between the beds of 50 cm while the distance between repeats of 1 m planting distance was 70 cm x 25 cm. Plant maintenance activities included watering, fertilization, looting, embroidery, and pest and disease control. Harvesting was done by cutting the base of the stalk or malai until the neck shaft malai at the age of 70 days. The study used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 13 treatments and 3 repetitions. Each repetition consists of 3 plants. The observed variables included plant height, stem diameter, leaf length and leaf width. The data obtained were analysed using multiple fingerprint analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences between the plant strains tested. Strain 12 (GURI 5) showed the best growth response and yield compared to other strains. Plant height, stem diameter, leaf length and leaf width of sorghum Strain 12 (GURI 5) were 765; 11.3; 534 and 41.0 cm. In conclusion, strain 12 (GURI 5) has the opportunity to be developed as an alternative forage for livestock in South Konawe.
