The Effect of Type and Duration of Seed Storage on Sugarcane Growth

Sugarcane propagation is mostly done by stem cuttings aged 5 to 8 months. seeds in the form of stalks have limited storage capacity, germination will decrease rapidly if are stored for too long time. The high weight and volume use sugarcane one limiting factors planting be carried out far from seed breeding place. purpose this study was determine effect type time on growth sugarcane.The research conducted at Karangploso Experimental Garden Balittas January-December 2016. field using a divided plot design with 3 replications. main seed, namely B1 (bud sett) B2 chip). As subplots P0 (without storage/control), P1 (24 hours storage), P2 (48 P3 (72 storage). results showed that power bud set did not significantly. increase first count noticeable 24-72 h compared control. percentage chip rate decreases increasing In polybags phase, sett faster than seeds. months old plants after transplanting number seedlings sets chips significantly different. variables plant height, diameter internodes were All observation age 6 no significant difference between
