The Effect of Several Methods on the Shooting of Porang Plant Frogs (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume)

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of using several methods in accelerating the sprouting period of porang plant frogs (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume), using a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAKNF), 8 levels of treatment, namely: P1= Air-Drying, P2= Frogs planted directly in polybags, 2/3 immersed in soil, P3= Soaking frogs in water for 24 hours, continued in polybags, P4= Soaking frogs in water for 36 hours, continued in polibeg, P5= Soaking frogs in young coconut water for 4 hours, continued in polibeg, P6= Soaking frogs in young coconut water for 6 hours continued in polibeg, P7= Soaking frogs in eco-enzyme concentration of 10 ml/l water for 24 hours, continued in polibeg, P8= Soaking frogs in eco-enzyme concentration of 15 ml/l water for 24 hours Advanced hours at polybag. Research with 3 replications. The results of the analysis of variance proved that several methods of budding of porang plant frogs on the percentage of budding frogs consisting of 2 parts, namely in 3 samples of age 6 MST had a very significant effect, had no significant effect at the age of 7, 8, 9, 10 MST, had no significant effect on 5 samples of age 8, 9, 10 MST. The treatment had a significant effect on the number of shoots with 3 samples of age 6 MST but had no significant effect at the age of 7, 8, 9, 10 MST and had no significant effect with 5 samples at the age of 8, 9, 10 MST. The treatment had a significant effect on seedling height at the age of 6 MST, had no significant effect at the age of 7, 8, 9, 10 MST. The treatment had a very significant effect on the percentage of frogs that sprouted, with 3 samples at 6 WAP in the P2 treatment being higher than those in the P1, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, and P8 treatments, the average percentage of frogs sprouting was 89% at the age of 6 WAP. The treatment had no significant effect on the percentage of frogs sprouting with 5 samples at the ages of 8, 9, and 10 WAP in the P3 treatment tending to sprout higher, the highest percentage of frogs reaching 100%. At the age of 8 WAP all frogs had sprouted. The treatment had a significant effect on the number of shoots with 3 samples at the age of 6 WAP, the highest average was P2 and P5 compared to P1, P3, P4, P6, P7 and P8, the average number of shoots was 1.00 cm but had no significant effect at the ages of 7, 8, 9 and 10 WAP. The number of shoots had no significant effect on 5 samples at 8, 9, and 10 WAP, but the P8 treatment tended to have more shoots than the P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, and P7 treatments. The results of a random inspection of various methods of porang plant frog shoots significantly affected seedling height in all observations at 6 WAP, but no significant effect at 7, 8, 9, and 10 WAP. The highest seedling height was observed in the P5 treatment, with an average of 1.31 cm compared to treatments P1, P2, P3, P4, P6, P7, and P8.
