EVALUASI PERTUMBUHAN PRODUKSI DAN SEGREGASI AKSESI JAGUNG MANIS UNGU GENERASI F2 HASIL PERSILANGAN JAGUNG MANIS VARIETAS BIMMO DENGAN JAGUNG UNGU UNSRI
Sweet and purple corn are agricultural products that have become popular in Indonesia. This study was to evaluate growth, production and segregation of Unsri purple-sweet corn accession of UJ3UxBMF2 which was derived form crossing Bimmo (BM) variety and Unsri purple corn accession (UJ3), and to produce F3 seeds for next cycle of selection. The study was conducted in collaboration with farmers on farmland area at Jalan M. Tamyiz, Indralaya, Ogan Ilir, South Sumatera from July to October 2025. The study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three blocks. The results showed that the UJ3UxBMF2 accession overall showed superiority in production as baby corn, as indicated by higher sugar content (%Brix) and harvested weight of baby corn, as well as good panelist preference. Meanwhile, the BM accession was superior in production as sweet corn as indicated by cob diameter and fresh weight of the plant, which indicated a higher yield potential. The color character of baby corn cobs showed a very high segregation of 99%, while the color of sweet corn cobs still showed a variation of 83%. The highest heritability value in baby corn was found in plant height at 35 days old at 97%, while the lowest was in sugar content 44%. In sweet corn, cob diameter and fresh harvest weight had a high heritability of 77 to 87%. For seed production, 28 plants were selected as seed sources for the UJ3UxBMF2 accession. These plants produced 1,921 wrinkled dark purple seeds, 1,091 wrinkled light purple seeds, 3,038 unwrinkled dark purple seeds, and 2,954 unwrinkled light purple seeds.
