Collection and characterization of indigenous vegetables obtained from Bogor and Pandeglang districts

Abstract

Research was conducted to collect and characterize several indigenous vegetable species obtained from Bogor and Pandeglang districts. Differences among accessions and their lineage were also studied. A randomized block design with three replicates was used during planting of each species. Accessions were collected from Nanggung, Parung, Tamansari, Cibinong (Bogor District), and Pandeglang, Mandalawangi, Cadasari, and Cimanuk (Pandeglang District). They consisted of nine kemangi (Ocimum americanum L.) accessions, 11 katuk (Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merril) accessions, 10 honje (Etlingera giseke) accessions, and eight kucai (Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Sprengel) accessions.
