Optimization of Stratified Sugarcane Seeds of Main Plantation and Variety in Budchips (Single Bud) Toward the Growth of Certified Superior Sugarcane Seeds

Abstract

The study is implemented in Agroindustry Plantation Research and Development Perning. It belongs to one of state owned sugarcane industries, namely Gempolkerep sugarcane industry of PTPN X in the area of East Java Province from March up to December 2013. The objectives of the study are: 1). Producing appropriate technology to optimize life growth and success of sugarcane seeds developed through budchips (single bud) using Procedure Standard Operation 2.  Producing superior certified sugarcane seeds which are able to grow uniformedly in a relatively shorter time to fulfill the availability of budchips (single bud) sugarcane seeds. The results of the study revealed that : 1). Superior certified seeds cane in the main plantation through stratified KBP, KBN, KBI  which are developed in budcips model as KBD cane seeds until 90 days statistically did not show significant difference to life growth level. The life growth success could achieve 86-98 percent, under the specific terms and conditions of SOP (Prosedure Operasional Standard). This appropriate technology is recommended to produce and develop the availability of superior certified sugarcane seeds through single budchip model from stratified main plantation (KBP, KBN, KBI) and toward many other examined varieties such as (BL, PS 862, PS 864, PS 851, PS 881, POJ 3016, Kentung, PSJT 961, klon C1 and C2 which statistically do not reveal significant different toward tall growth and number of sugar cane leaves. The sugar cane seeds proceed within 90 days show relatively homogenous and qualified growth. Superior certified sugarcane seeds produced within the same period show larger number compared to sugarcane seeds developed through mule system. The availability of sugarcane seeds through single budchip model guarantee the demand of sugarcane seeds in certain wide range of area because it provides better probability to grow and live.
