Daftar Isi:
- This research was conducted to determine the growth of red sugarcane seedling on pruning and frequency of watering. This research was conducted in research field of Faculty of Agriculture University of Sumatera Utara (± 25 m asl) from June-October 2017 using Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The first factor was pruning (control, 1, and 2 months / plant) as well as the second factor was frequency of watering (1, 3, 5, and 7 days / plants). The variable observed were plant height, number of leaf, stem diameter, number of tiller, shoot wet weight, root wet weight and shoot-root ratio. The results showed that the frequency of watering treatment had significant effect on the number of leaf (4,6,8,10 and 12 week after plant), stem diameter (4,6,8,10 and 12 week after plant), shoot wet weight, and root wet weight. Pruning treatment had no significant effect on all variable observed. The interaction of both has no significant effect on all variable observed.
