PERBANYAKAN STEK TANAMAN TIN (Ficus caricaL.) DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN DIAMETER DAN PANJANG BAHAN STEK YANG BERBEDA

- Figs have commercial value andhigh nutritional values such as antioxidant, vitamins and unsaturated fatly acids. One of the obstacles in procuring cuttings for seedlings islow success rate of seedling life. The use of different cutting diameters and lengths can be taken into consideration for cuttings. This study aims to determine the effect and interaction of differences in the diameter and length of cuttings material on the growth of fig plants. This researchwas carriedout fromAprilto June 2018 on Jalan Melur, Sidomulyo Barat Village, Tampan District, Pekanbaru, Riau. Theresearchused Randomized Camplety Block Design (RCBD) that consistof two factors witheight replications. The first factor was diameter of stem cutting(0,7-1 cm 1,7-2 cm) and the second factor was stemcutting length(10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm).The results showed that the diameter of cuttings material 1,7-2 cm yielded the highest values in all parameters observed but did not affect the growth of seedlings. Thelength of cuttings material 10, 15and 20 cm only significantly affects the number of leaves. There wasinteraction between diameters and length with to shoot length parameters where the highest shoot length is 1,7-2 cm in diameter with a length of 10 cm.
