PENGARUH JARAK TANAM TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN TUNAS RUMPUT GAJAH MINI

(Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott)

Abstrak

Kajian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jarak tanam pada pertumbuhan tunas rumput gajah mini (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott). Metode dipakai pada kajian ini adalah metode eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) meliputi 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan dipakai pada kajian yaitu, P1= jarak tanam 60×60 cm, P2= jarak tanam 60×70 cm, P3= jarak tanam 60×80 cm, P4= jarak tanam 60×90 cm. Variabel diteliti pada kajian yakni jumlah tunas, tinggi tunas dan kecepatan pertumbuhan tunas. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis memakai sidik ragam. Hasil anova terlihat perlakuan tidak bsignifikan nyata (P>0,05) pada pertumbuhan rumput gajah mini (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott). kesimpulan dari kajian pertumbuhan paling tinggi di jarak tanam 60x70 cm (P2) dengan rataan jumlah tunas 2,18 helai, tinggi tunas sebesar 22,05 cm dan kecepatan pertumbuhan tunas sebesar 1,39 %.

The study aims to determine the effect of planting distance on the growth of mini elephant grass shoots (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott). The method used in this study is an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) including 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments used in the study were, P1 = planting distance 60 × 60 cm, P2 = planting distance 60 × 70 cm, P3 = planting distance 60 × 80 cm, P4 = planting distance 60 × 90 cm. The variables studied in the study were the number of shoots, shoot height and shoot growth rate. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results of the ANOVA showed that the treatment was not significantly significant (P> 0.05) on the growth of mini elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv.Mott). The conclusion of the study was that the highest growth was at a planting distance of 60x70 cm (P2) with an average number of shoots of 2.18 strands, a shoot height of 22.05 cm and a shoot growth rate of 1.39%.
