"Indonesia’s swamplands are among areas earmarked for future agricultural development. As a type of wetlands, swamplands are inundated and have soil properties that are uniquely different from other agro ecosystems. In Indonesia, some of the se areas are currently used for rice cultivation of the country’s very diversegenetic resources of local rice varieties. Most of the farmers continue top lant and cultivate the local rice swamp land varieties because of the abilities to adapt to extreme environments. This study on the agronomic traits of the local swampl and rice varieties was carried out to evaluate their agronomic character sand identify varieties having superior quality traits. There search was carried out fromApril to October 2016 using a single plot methodat the Rantau Kapas Mudo Village, Batanghari Regency, Jambi Province. Eleven (11)rice varieties were planted in 10 x 5 m single plots, with a spacing of25x 25 cm and 1 m distance between plots. These11 genetic resources of the local swamplandrice varieties, include the Serendah Halus, Rimbun Daun, Karya, Serendah Bawang, Sereh Aek, Botol, Pontianak, Semut, Dawi, Ketan Itam and DI. The observed characters consisted ofthe plant height at harvest, number of productive tillers, age of harvest, number of grains per panicle, number of filled grains per panicle, number of empty grains per panicle, weight of 1,000 grains, seed shape and the production volume.There were differences among the local swampland rice varieties with the highest production volume of 3.32 tonnes/ha obtained from the Rimbun Daun variety,followed by2. 86 tonnes/ha from the Dawi variety. These two varieties had shown potential to become the leading regional swampland rice varieties."

"Farmers are rational in decision making process with respect to any introduced agricultural technology. Farmers may consider the economic sacrifices in term of additional cost and potential benefit or additional income before they accept and adopt the introduced technology. This study aimed to analyze farmer’s criteria and determine explanatory variables affecting farmer’s decision to accept or to adopt submergence tolerant (Sub-1) rice varieties at flash flood and flood prone affected rice area. The study was conducted in Indramayu District, West Java, and Kayu Agung District, South Sumatra. Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) that derived Willingness to Accept (WTA) approach was exercised to analyze explanatory variables that influence farmers’ willingness to accept introduced rice varieties. The results showed that the economic cost of flooding that damaged rice was about US$7.63 million in Kayu Agung and US$11.25 million in Indramayu in every wet season planting. Farmer’s criteria used in submergence tolerant varietal evaluation varied and location specific in nature. Most of explanatory variables used in the model were significantly influenced farmers’ WTA for submergence tolerant rice varieties such as: (1) availability of seed, (2) submergence tolerant for more than 14 days, (3) high yield, (4) proffer rice taste, (5) households’ income during normal year, (6) area planted during normal year, and (7) age of farm household head. The only indicator that did not significantly influence the farmers’ WTA for the Sub-1 rice varieties was farm household income during the flood year cropping."

"ABSTRACTSifat ketahanan terhadap wereng batang cokelat (WBC) pada varietaspadi dikendalikan oleh gen dominan dan gen resesif yang disebut Bph/bph. Bph17 merupakan salah satu gen dominan yang mengendalikansifat ketahanan tanaman padi terhadap WBC. Marka alel Bph17dapat menjadi alat bantu seleksi (marker assisted selection, MAS) padakegiatan pemuliaan. Hubungan antara kehadiran alel Bph17 dan sifatketahanan terhadap WBC pada varietas padi lokal Indonesia danbeberapa varietas unggul baru (VUB) belum diketahui secara jelas.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui asosiasi antara kehadiranalel Bph17 dan karakter ketahanan terhadap WBC pada padi varietaslokal dan VUB. Sebanyak 21 genotipe digunakan dalam penelitian ini,terdiri atas 13 varietas lokal, 5 VUB, 3 varietas populer, dan Rathu Heenati (cek postif). Dua penanda spesifik alel Bph17 digunakan,yaitu RM8213 dan RM5953. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwaasosiasi antara keberadaan alel Bph17 dan sifat ketahanan terhadapWBC pada padi lokal dan VUB sangat rendah (r = -0,019 dan -0,023).Kehadiran alel Bph17 tidak mengekspresikan ketahanan terhadapWBC pada varietas lokal dan VUB. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkanbahwa alel tidak dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu seleksi untukmengevaluasi ketahanan padi varietas lokal dan VUB terhadapWBC. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mendapatkan penandagen spesifik yang dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu seleksi untukvarietas diferensial padi Indonesia."
