Mucuna bracteata is a type of Leguminosae Cover Crop (LCC) which is widely used in Indonesian plantations. The advantage of Mucuna bracteata is that it grows fast. Based on this, a study was conducted to see the rate of difference in the number of internodes planted which could accelerate the growth and development of Mucuna bracteata. The research was carried out in the practical garden area of the Medan Agricultural College of Agribusiness (STIPAP). The research was conducted from May to June 2020. This study used a non-factorial randomized block design (RBD), which consisted of 1 treatment with 4 levels, namely R0 (1 rolled segment), R1 (2 rolled sections), R2 (3 rolled humps), R3 (4 rolled humps) and with 5 repetitions. The results showed that the treatment of R2, namely 3 bundles of rolled knuckles, gave the best effect on the parameter increase in tendril length, namely 89.66 cm, the increase in the number of tendrils, namely 6.38, the increase in the number of leaves, namely 12.50 strands, the increase in the number of segments, namely 11.32 pieces, and the measurement of the root volume, namely 13.00 ml. The treatment of the number of bunded knots had a significant effect on the parameters of tendril length, number of tendrils, number of leaves, number of internodes, and volume of roots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
