Abstract

Multiplication of Propagated Tuber and Adaptability Test of Arrowroot Germplasm. Increasing arrowroot production needs technology production and variety suitable to the plant environment. Production constraints for arrowroot are seedling (stolon and tuber) limitation of cultivars adapted to the production area. Experiment had been carried out by using two factors (seedling source and variety) planted under randomized complete block design, three replications to study their germination capability. Three parts of seedlings source (tip, middle and basal part of tuber, 2 buds each) as first factor, and 10 varieties as second factor. Effect of seedling (stolon and tuber) of arrowroot and variety (10 accessions) were tested to study their adaptability had been done in 3 locations (Bogor, Cianjur and Serang). Seedling were planted at 50 cm x 40 cm, one row for each treatment. Tip-part and base-part of tuber showed better germination than middle-part of arrowroot tuber. There were effect of genotypic and environment interaction to tuber and starch yield. Accession No. 27

The seven week old seedlings were planted in experimental plots sized 9 m x 3.2 m with spacing of 60 cm x 40 cm and depth of 7 cm (Sutoro & Hadiatmi, 2011). The experimental plots contained basic manure (700 g per hole), urea (290 kg/ha), Super Phosphate 36 (375 kg/ha), and KCl (300 kg/ha) (Djaafar, Sarjiman, & Pustika, 2010).…”
