EVALUATION OF RESISTANCIES OF TEN ACCESSIONS OF CASHEW TO FUSARIUM ROOT ROT DISEASE. 

Abstract
Description
Cashew is a commodity that has an important role in improving the welfare of farmers, especially in areas with dry climates and poor nutrients. One obstacle in the development of cashew nut is the presence of Fusarium  attacks that can shut down the plant in the nursery. Research evaluation of resistancies of ten accessions of cashew against Fusarium root rot disease, which aimed to get the accessions that resistant to Fusarium root rotdisease has been conducted in the Laboratory and Greenhouse of Indonesian Spices and Industrial Crops Rresearch Institute (ISICRI) January to December 2009. Research using completely randomized design with 10 treatments and three replications. Treatments were the type of accsession namely Arsyad Labone, Sri Lanka,JT-21, Laode Head, Laode Gani, Sleman Red, Nigeria, Laode Kase, JN 26, NDR-31. The result obtained one cashew accessions highly resistant namely JN-26, and two accessions that resistant that is Laode Gani, and Sleman Red with root rot disease incidence of each 0; 6.67, and 9.52% at the age of two months after inoculation.
Jambu mete merupakan komoditas yang mempunyai peranan penting dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani terutama di daerah yang beriklim kering dan miskin hara. Salah satu kendala dalam pengembangan jambu mete adalah adanya serangan jamur Fusarium yang dapat mematikan tanaman di persemaian. Penelitian evaluasi ketahanan sepuluh aksesi jambu mete terhadap penyakit busuk akar Fusarium, yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan jambu mete yang tahan terhadap penyakit busuk akar Fusarium telah dilakukan di Laboratorium dan Rumah kaca Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Aneka Tanaman Industri (Balittri) bulan Januari sampai Desember 2009. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap sebanyak 10 perlakuan dengan 3 ulangan. Perlakuannya adalah aksesi jambu mete produksi tinggi yaitu Arsyad Labone, Sri Lanka, JT-21, Laode Kepala, Laode Gani, Sleman Merah, Nigeria, Laode Kase, JN 26, NDR-31. Hasil penelitian diperoleh satu aksesi jambu mete yang sangat tahan yaitu JN-26, dan dua aksesi yang tahan yaitu Laode Gani, dan Sleman Merah dengan kejadian penyakit busuk akar masing-masing 0; 6,67; dan 9,52% pada umur dua bulan setelah inokulasi.
