Effect of Hot Water Immersion Time Upper, Middle and Lower Stems on the Growth of Sugarcane Bud Chip Bululawang Variety

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine and determine the proper soaking time in the upper, middle
and lower sugarcane stalks so that the growth is uniform. The experimental design used was a
randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors with 3 replications. The first factor is B 1: Upper
stem, B 2: Middle stem, B 3: Rootstock, the second factor is W 1: Control (0 minutes / without hot water
immersion), W 2: Soaking hot water for 15 minutes, W 3 : Soaking in hot water for 30 minutes, W 4:
Soaking in hot water for 45 minutes, W 5: Soaking in hot water for 60 minutes. The results of the study
showed that the B1W5 treatment combination was the treatment that gave the fastest germination day,
while the treatment combination B3W1, B3W2, B3W3, B3W4, and B3W5 was the treatment that caused
the longest germination day. The lowest yield of the variable percentage of germination was given by the
treatment combination B1W5, while the best percentage of germination was given by the combination of
treatment B1W2 and B2W4. The best variable of plant height and number of leaves was given by the
combination of treatment B1W2 and B2W4, while the lowest was given by the combination of treatment
B3W1.
