ADDITION OF THIAMIN AND LEAF FOLIAR IN ABACA BANANA (Musa textillis Nee.) ACCLIMATIZATION

Abstract

The economic value of the Abaca banana is on the trunk which contains fiber for valuable textile and paper industry raw materials. The multipurpose fiber and its prospects are quite good, so the abaca plant gets a lot of attention from various community groups both private, state-owned, cooperative and farmers. Propagation through multiplication humps is very low, planting material is easily damaged in transportation, is not durable and requires large space so that transportation costs are high. One alternative to overcome the provision of healthy, large and fast seedlings is to use seedlings from tissue culture. The aim of the study is to get the right thiamin and leaf fertilizer concentrations at the acclimatization stage. The experimental design used was a 2-factor Complete Randomized Design, Thiamin concentration (1 ml / l, 2 ml / l, 3 ml / l) and leaf fertilizer (0.5 ml / l, 1 ml / l, 1.5 ml / l). The data obtained were analyzed for diversity at 5% level and further tests using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) level of 5%. The results showed no interaction between thiamin and leaf fertilizer, Thiamin 2 ml / l gave the best results on all parameters and 1.5 ml / l leaf fertilizer could increase plant height and the number of leaves of abaca banana plants.Keywords: Thiamin, leaf fertilizer, abaca banana, acclimatization

Modification of Media Formulation and Agar Concentration to Improve Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Druce) Micropropagation for Conservation and Microfloriculture Development

“…This low shoot elongation might be due to the unavailability of vitamins in the AB mix medium. Srilestari and Suwardi (2019) stated that vitamins such as thiamine (B1) are essential and often used in plant in vitro culture to accelerate cell division. Thiamine acts as a coenzyme in cell metabolism and can increase hormonal activity in plant tissue, encouraging cell division and growth.…”

Effect of planting material and B1 vitamin during acclimatization on the growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Granola)

“…L -1 vitamin B1 showed the highest average root length of 20.9 cm. According to Srilestari and Suwardi [28], the addition of vitamin B1 2 ml. L -1 has the highest number of roots and root length compared to a concentration of 1 ml.…”
