MORPHOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND PRODUCTION OF SIX SAGO (METROXYLON SPP.) ACCESSIONS FROM TANA LUWU, SOUTH SULAWESI, INDONESIA
Tana Luwu area owns a relatively high diversity and production potentialof sago, but it has not yet been managed optimally. This study aimsto identify and analyze the diversity of morphological characteristicsand the production of various sago accessions in Tana Luwu. Basedon morphological characteristics, the sago palm in Tana Luwu isdivided into two groups by the presence of thorns on the rachis andpetioles. The presence of thorns has the largest coordinate axis angles,representing a higher diversity distance than other morphologicalcharacteristics. Some accessions show very high production potential,with a total production of 476.66 kg per dry tree starch. The averagesago production in the six accessions is 276.40 kg per dry treestarch. Accessions with a yield potential > 200 kg per dry starch areobserved in Kapa, Uso, Kasimpo, and Sabbe. Therefore, sago inthese accessions is potentially developed to obtain superior varieties.Two significant morphological characteristics that contribute to sagoproduction are stem height (r = 0.73) and the number of leaves (r = 0.78).
