Abstract

Bengkalis island is one of island in Riau that has the highest durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) diversity. Storage life time is an importance characteristic in agribusiness. The aim of this research is to characterize the storage life time of durian cultivars and to recomend the superior candidate parents in Bengkalis Island, Riau Province based on morphologies and post harvest characters. Data was analyzed using analysis of varians (ANOVA) and correlated between characters using pearson corelation analysis. Storage life time of durian is between 0.33 to 5 day. Result from Pearson correlation showed that there are 7 characters in positive and 4 characters in negative correlation. The longest storage life time was found at BT11 cultivar 5 days and 0.33 day respectively SB4 and had negative correlation with aril texture about 0.581%
