Abstract

Rice is a major food crop that produces rice, the staple food for the majority of Indonesia’s population and more than half of the world’s population, rice holds a special value for communities that consume it regularly, such as in Indonesia, but production in 2023 is estimated to decrease by 1.12 million tons. This study aims to assess the influence of location on the agronomic characteristics of the Protani rice in various locations, and to determine the stability of interrelation patern among characters as response to different locations. The research method used is a survey with observations of the surrounding environmental conditions and sampling of harvest-ready plants along with other supporting data. The conclusion it that different locations affect the agronomic characteristics of Protani rice, with the best results found in Purbalingga Regency. Additionally, the Interrelation patterns of Protani rice in response to varying environmental conditions remain unstable for most variables, with only the grain weight per panicle showing stability. The contribution gained from this research is that it can serve as a reference for developing plant varieties that are adaptive to various environmental conditions and helps in assessing the yield potential of Protani rice crops.
