Sugarcane growth variation based on rainfall and soil permeability in Takalar, Indonesia

Abstract The germination and sprouting phases of sugar cane are critical periods that determine productivity. This phase occurs when the is 1-3 months old requires an adequate supply water to support formation shoots. Poor soil conditions high rainfall can cause failure bud formation. study aims relationship between permeability in successfully constructing sugarcane We divided 1 ha research area into nine points (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) observe plant growth permeability. factors measured included number stems, diameter, height, by zigzag. Intact samples at a 0-15 cm depth were then analyzed laboratory using Darcy’s law value results showed variations plots. average stalks eight stalks/meter with height 159 diameter 3 cm. low 0.13-0.5 cm/hour cannot compensate for during budding phase, thereby suppressing up 50% productivity should be.
