Abstract

This study aimed to use multigamma irradiation techniques (nuclear) to improve indigenous purple corn to produce better generation types that can withstand drought, harsh climates, pests and diseases, and high yields. Observation, sampling, irradiation, careful selection, purification, and interpretation are some research methodologies used. Observations for taking an inventory of the parent variety’s physical and chemical characteristics, determining the research location, cultivating the area of planting, irradiating 3000 rads dose to the sample for 30 min, soaking the area of planting, planting seeds, irrigation, observing age and ability to grow grains, embroidery, weeding and fertilizing, keeping plant conditions during growth, harvesting, and drying. Result of research: Selected high-yielding local purple corn cultivars resulting from multigamma irradiation can withstand drought and adverse weather, are pest and disease resistant, and produce much more than the variety of parents. The average production of the selected high-yielding varieties was 11.12 t/ha, while the parent variety was 6.71 t/ha, with an increase in production percentage of 39.66%.
