Abstract

This study aimed to identify the diversity of weight and size of Arbila ( Phaseolus lunatus L.) seeds as feed in Amabi Oefeto District, Kupang Regency. This research was conducted in Amabi Oefeto District on October 2020 - February 2021 using a field survey method in 3 villages, namely Pathau Village, Muke Village, and Oemolo Village. The research variables were 100 air dried seed weight, 100 oven dried seed weight, and the seed size. The results showed that in Amabi Oefeto District, there were 17 accessions of arbila based on seed morphological diversity, with a fresh seed weight was 24.50 g/100 seeds - 47.50 gram/100 seeds, oven dried weight was 23.00 - 44.25 g/100 seeds, 0.60 cm – 1.20 cm, 0.10 cm - 0.40 cm thick, and 0.50 cm - 0.80 cm wide. It can be concluded that in Amabi Oefeto District, there were 17 accessions of Arbila based on seed morphology, with different weights, color patterns, length, width, and diameter.
