  • Sugar cane is a sugar-producing plant which is a source of carbohydrates. This plant is needed to continue to increase along with population growth. One effort to increase the productivity of sugarcane is by breeding budchips, in nursery shoots the shoots have a low vegetative growth. One effort to improve is by administering growth regulators. But the use of chemical stimulants can continuously pollute the environment and currently the government continues to promote organic farming free of chemical residues, to succeed the government program, we tried to research about organic growth regulators from shallot extract and green bean sprouts as an alternative. One of the extracts in green bean sprouts is auxin which plays a role in plant growth and development. The physiological role of auxin is to encourage cell extension, cell division, differentiation of xylem and phloem tissue, root formation, apical dominant, tropism response and inhibit leaf abortion. The onion extract contains allin compounds which are converted into allicin compounds, Allicin compounds added to plants will facilitate the metabolism of plant tissues and can mobilize food ingredients that are in the body of the plant. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of green bean extract and shallot extract on several varieties of sugarcane bud. This research was conducted on November 1, 2018 until January 25, 2019 in the Experimental Garden of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. The design used in this study is 2 factorial RAK. The first factor is the combination of plant extracts (K). The second factor is Variety (V). So there are 12 treatment combinations and repeated 3 times. From observations known to occur interactions between combinations of plant extracts with varieties. Variety treatment had a significant influence on the variables observed for germination, number of leaves, plant height, plant diameter, plant wet weight, robustness of plants and crop quality index. The combination treatment of plant extracts showed a significant effect on the observed variables of germination, plant height, number of leaves and plant diameter but did not show a significant effect on other variables.
