FOOD

1. AGRICULTUREFOOD CROPS VARIETYBy the present time, BATAN research and development using radiation has produced 14 rice varieties. These varieties were developed using gamma ray radiation mutation technique. These varieties are: Atomita I (1982), Atomita II (1983), Atomita III (1990), and Atomita IV (1991), Situgintung (1992), Cilosari (1996), Merauke (2001), Woyla (2001), Kahayan, (2003), Winongo (2003), Diahsuci (2003), Yuwono (2004), Mayang (2004), Mira 1 (2006)

Varieties are proven to have excellent properties, such as better productivity, disease resistance, shorter mature time,etc. Farmers in several provinces in Indonesia have already used these varieties.

Total cultivated area of BATAN Rice Varieties is around 400,000 hectares by mid 2006, which is expected to become 1 million hectares around the end of 2006.To introduced the latest varieties, BATAN conducts dissemination activities known as IPTEKDA (Iptek Untuk Daerah or Science and Technology for Local Development).

2. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

The aims of R&D activities using nuclear technique for animal husbandry are to invent food supplement formula, to improve ruminant animals (cow, buffalo, goat and sheep) production. The research utilizes isotopes and radiation technology and Nitrogen (N), Phosphor (P), Carbon (C) and Sulphur (S) are some isotopes used in the activities.

Class food supplement product namely UMMB (Urea Multinutrient Molasses Block) and HQFS (High Quality Food Supplement). These products are made of agricultural industry. The food supplements (UMMB and HQFS) are introduced to Indonesian people through IPTEKDA programme. The programme consists of dissemination and partnership activities, technology utilization and technology transfer. At the present time, many farmers in at least 23 provinces have utilized this food supplement technology. In addition, the nuclear technique (RIA) has also been used for the early detection of animal pregnancy (reproduction).

Irradiation FacilitiesCentre for Application of Isotopes and Radiation Technology – BATAN has been accredited by National Committee for Accreditation of R & D Organization with the classification in the field of Environment Agriculture, Veterinary and Crop Sciences, since December 2004.

Radiation Induced Mutation Breeding of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a cereal plant having potential to be cultivated and developed in Indonesia, especially in drought areas. Sorghum has a wide agroecological adaption, drought tolerance, high production, low input crop and more resistant to pest and disease than the other food crops. Sorghum has high nutritive value so that it is very good to be used as alternative food and animals feed. Sorghum has long been known by the Indonesia farmers especially in the regions of Java, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). In Java, Sorghum is known with the name Cantel, and farmers usually include it in a multiple cropping system.

JATROPHA PLANT RESEARCH

Radiation Induced Mutation Breeding of Jarak Pagar (Jatropha curcas L)

In Indonesia (Java island), people know Jatropha curcas as Jarak Pagar, which grows as a fence along the side of road as a border perimeter plant. BATAN has also carried out mutation breeding on Jatropha curcas, due to energy crisis in Indonesia.

The oil content of Jatropha curcas seed ranges from 35-38% by weight, and those of the kernel range from 40-60%. A number of research have shown that Jatropha bio diesel has fuel properties and provide very similar engine performance to that of diesel fuel.

G.A. SIWABESSY MULTI PURPOSE REACTOR SERPONG – BANTEN

G. A. SIWABESSY Multi Purpose Reactor was firstly utilized in 1987 with a power of 30 MW. This high flux multipurpose research reactor is equipped with various facilities for neutron irradiation and spectrometers, post irradiation examination laboratory, engineering and safety laboratory. The reactor is supported by nuclear fuel element, a low energy cyclotron, radioisotope and radiopharmaceuticals production, a radioactive waste management technology as well as material science research and development facilities.

BATAN

Government of Indonesia under Indonesian Green Energy Action Plan (IGEAP) have a plan to develop several new and renewable energy sources, which environmental friendly as oil substitution in order to reduce the oil consumption.Utilizing Nuclear Science and Technology, BATAN conducts research and development in energy field to provide new and renewable energy sources which symbiotic and synergistic with other energy sources, either fossil or other renewable energy to fulfill national energy needs.One of research and development in connection with IGEAP is mutation breeding of Jarak Pagar (Jatropha curcas L) and Shorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Jatropha plant can produce Jatropha oil which can be used as fuel alternative for diesel engines (biodiesel). This non toxic, degradable and renewable fuel can reduce serious air pollutants such as particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon.Unlike other fuel, Jatropha oil is agriculturally oriented. Itis important to use mutation breeding for the improvement of Jatropha as a fuel crop, in term of its early maturity, yield and oil content in the seeds.In similar with Jatropha plant. Sorghum bicolor also potential to produce bioethanol. BATAN also conducts research and development utilizing mutation technique to improve Shorgum plant characteristics.
