【 摘 要 】

The amount of demand for banana commodities has increased in line with the increase of population as well as mineral and nutritional needs. However, banana production capacity is still low. Generally, banana plants grow well in areas with high light intensity. Banana cultivation as interplant facing problems, such as low light intensity, which affects the growth and production of banana plants. One effort to increase banana production is through the development of banana cultivation that is tolerant of low light intensity. This study aims to compare the character of vegetative and fruit of dwarf cavendish banana originating from two different regions, namely the mainland and the island regions of Southeast Sulawesi, to get the most resistant to low light intensity. The result showed that there is no significant difference between the two. This study provides guidance for further studies on the development of banana cultivation in determining the type of banana that is most suitable for planting on low light intensity.
