POTENSI DAN ANALISA BIAYA PENYEDIAAN BIBIT TEBU (Saccharum officinarum L.) UNGGUL SECARA IN VITRO DI PT. GUNUNG MADU PLANTATIONS

<p><em>Sugarcane productivity included cane yield and sugar extracted rate (rendemen) fluctuated annually. The main causes of low sugarcane is quality planting material with no high (sugar rendemen) potential, resistance to pests diseases, stability production, tolerance climate changed early age harvest. For increasing the producing a superior competitiveness cost, vegetative propagation through in vitro culture technique via shoot tip was carried out. objective this research produce analyze costs required. out at Tissue Culture Laboratory, PT. Gunung Madu Plantations (GMP) March-May 2021. stages started from preparation explant source plants, sterilization explants tools, manufacture stock solutions media, subculture, analysis needed provide seeds. results showed that basal swelling explants, number shoots, root elongation, method providing seeds apical were relatively more competitive price plantlets per tube contained 10 clones costly Rp. 20,328, compared conventional methods. seedlings Rp 1,603/stem.</em></p>
