<p><em>One of the factors that affect the productivity of cacao plants is water availability. Water deficit will negatively affect the development of cacao flowers and beans. Water stress is reported as one of the causes of low productivity on plantation crops in Lampung Province. The study was aimed to analyze the characteristics of agroecology and supplemental irrigation required for growth and production of cacao in Lampung. The research was carried out in the District of Pesawaran, Tanggamus, East Lampung, and South Lampung, Lampung Province, from 2012 to 2015. The study was conducted with the survey method and literature study for the collection of the primary and secondary data, related to the characteristics of the land agroecology. Geographically, the main cacao growing areas in this region is divided into two regions, western region consist of Pesawaran and Tanggamus District and east region comprise of East Lampung and South Lampung District. Based on agroecological zones, the planting of cacao in both regions is in accordance with the recommendations of land use. However, land suitability analysis showed that some of the agroecological characteristics of land becomes a limiting factor for the growth and production of cacao, including soil pH &lt; 5.5, low cations exchange capacity (CEC) (&lt; 16 cmol(+)/kg), air humidity &gt; 75%, and in some areas there is an erosion hazard. Another obstacle is the water deficit that occurs during 140 days within 1 year of cacao growth cycle that occurred in July until mid-November. There are two factors that can be applied  to increase cacao productivity in Lampung province, i.e. (1)  an improvement of cacao cultivation technology that can address the characteristics of agroecology as a limiting factor of growth, and (2) an application of a supplemental irrigation technology to avoid cacao from water stress. The requirement of supplemental irrigation is 340.5 mm in western region and 209.7 mm in eastern region of Lampung.</em></p>

Water deficit is the main yield-limiting factor across the Asian and African semiarid tropics and a basic consideration when developing crop cultivars for water-limited conditions is to ensure that crop water demand matches season water supply. Conventional breeding has contributed to the development of varieties that are better adapted to water stress, such as early maturing cultivars that match water supply and demand and then escape terminal water stress. However, an optimisation of this match is possible. Also, further progress in breeding varieties that cope with water stress is hampered by the typically large genotype × environment interactions in most field studies. Therefore, a more comprehensive approach is required to revitalise the development of materials that are adapted to water stress. In the past two decades, transgenic and candidate gene approaches have been proposed for improving crop productivity under water stress, but have had limited real success. The major drawback of these approaches has been their failure to consider realistic water limitations and their link to yield when designing biotechnological experiments. Although the genes are many, the plant traits contributing to crop adaptation to water limitation are few and revolve around the critical need to match water supply and demand. We focus here on the genetic aspects of this, although we acknowledge that crop management options also have a role to play. These traits are related in part to increased, better or more conservative uses of soil water. However, the traits themselves are highly dynamic during crop development: they interact with each other and with the environment. Hence, success in breeding cultivars that are more resilient under water stress requires an understanding of plant traits affecting yield under water deficit as well as an understanding of their mutual and environmental interactions. Given that the phenotypic evaluation of germplasm/breeding material is limited by the number of locations and years of testing, crop simulation modelling then becomes a powerful tool for navigating the complexity of biological systems, for predicting the effects on yield and for determining the probability of success of specific traits or trait combinations across water stress scenarios.

Beechnuts from two seedlots were pretreated, without medium, at a controlled moisture content (MC) of 30% before or after 1-year storage at –7 °C. Seeds treated with the two methods were germinated on substrates at decreasing osmotic potential down to –1.2 MPa. A moderate stress of –0.2 MPa caused a slight but significant decrease in germination percentage. Each further increment in water stress produced additional significant decreases in germination capacity. At –1.2 MPa, germination was almost prevented. Seeds pretreated before storage showed lower germination percentage and speed at all osmotic potentials, but this result was due to a marked effect of seed initial MC, rather than a lower resistance to water deficit. In fact, MC of beechnuts pretreated before storage was 8%, whereas beechnuts pretreated after storage started germination tests under water stress with an initial MC of 30%. Moreover, seeds at lower initial MC need more time to imbibe before the germination process can start. Seeds with higher initial MC were probably able to cope better with water deficit, at least during the 30-day germination test in the laboratory. A second experiment carried out on beechnuts treated only before storage but made to have different initial MC seemed to confirm this conclusion. Ungerminated seeds were not damaged, as revealed by a tetrazolium test performed at the end of each germination test. Advantages in nursery practice shown by dry, nondormant beechnuts (pretreated before storage) are discussed in relation to the possibility of sowing when water availability in the soil is not a limiting factor.
