Evaluation of Indonesian Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) Using Stability Analysis and Sustainability Index

Yield and yield attributes are important components in genotypic evaluation. The butterfly pea is a native plant of Indonesia, and it is considered an underutilized crop. The goals of this study were to evaluate genotypes using environment (year) interactions (GEIs) with yield and yield attributes, and evaluate butterfly pea genotypes based on stability measurements and sustainability index (SI). The study was conducted at the Ciparanje Experimental Field, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran using 35 butterfly pea genotypes in a randomized complete block design with two replications. The field trial was conducted over three years (2018–2020). The results showed that the yield and yield attributes were influenced by GEIs. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) selected 11 stable genotypes (31.43%);genotype plus genotype by environment interaction (GGE) biplot, AMMI stability value (ASV), and genotype stability index (GSI), each selected six genotypes (17.14%) that were stable and high-yielding, and SI selected 18 genotypes (51.43%) that were stable and high-yielding. There were three genotypes identified by all measurements, namely G2, G14, and G16. These three genotypes can be selected as the superior genotypes of the butterfly pea for flower production, and can be used as material for crosses in plant-breeding prog.

Gender issue: women and LGBTs in the countryside, actions to face COVID-19. (Estudos agrarios criticos e COVID-19: movimentos socioterritoriais e luta pela terra no Brasil.)

This study aimed to identify how rural women and LGBTs, in their diversity, carried out actions to confront COVID-19, having as main foundations popular peasant feminism and gender relations, reinventing their forms of struggle. The methodological procedures are based on militant research, which guides towards a transformative action. Among the main results and reflections, the debates start from the conception of a capitalist, patriarchal, racist, xenophobic and LGBT-phobic society. The actions of struggle and resistance were carried out in solidarity campaigns, denouncements of the denialist and genocidal actions of the Federal Government, the fight for PLs 735/2020 and 823/2021, national and international conferences, defense of the Unified Health System (SUS), tree planting, and reorganizing and reinventing the use of social networks to stay connected.
