Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson has potency to spread as a forage in plantation area. The aim of this study was to evaluate A. gangetica viability rate with different storage conditions. The research was conducted from March to April 2019 at Laboratory of Forage Science and Pasture Technology, Faculty of Animal Science, IPB University. These research used 600 cutting stems of 70 days old A. gangetica from IPB areas. The experimental design used was a factorial completely randomized and the factors were A: storage material/tools (control, refrigerator, sugar immersion and wax coating) and B: storage time (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 days) with 25 replicates. The measured parameters were physiological cutting stem, length, weight reduces, viability rate and leaves growth. Data were analyzed by ANOVA used software R-3.3.2., then the significant results analyzed by Duncan. The result showed that storage treatments affected cutting stem physiologically, i.e.: color, smell, mold appearance and texture. The most affected was sugar immersion and the less affected was the refrigerator. The length of storage time reduced cutting stem weight. However, the highest viability rate of the cutting stem was in sugar immersion storage. Key words: Asytasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson, cuttings stem, preservation, storage capacity, viability
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.
