  • Central Java is one of provinces which producemedical crops such as singer (Zingiber officinale Rose). Recenly, the production technologies is expected to be more enviran-mental soundness. One of such technologies is sonic bloom. Basically,sonic bloom is the factor fertilization tech• nology using main materialof sea weed containing trace mineral which is then combined with sound wave procucingsome ferequency to induce the opening of stomata. The sonic bloom test to ginger crops was carried out in Kembang Villages, Ampel Sub District, Boyolali Regency utilizing land of 1.1 ha wide. Result of the research revealed that in general sonic bloom appli• cation, had effects on productions and economic aspects. This technology was able to shorten donmancy periods and induce bud growth. Also, it was able to produce better rhizome vigor, more rhizome with longer adn bigger sizes. In term of yield, sonic bloom technology was able to increase ginger yield of Kapur and Gahaj varieties by 136% and 89%, respectively with better seed quality. In addition, the benefit of sonic bloom applied is better compared to control which gave MBCR values at 4.15 (kapur) and 5.08 (Gajah).
