Abstract

The ridge size can increase the growth and production on several sweet potato clones. This research aim was to determine the effect of bed size (0, 15 and 30 cm) on the growth and production of several sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) clones (Sari Varieties, Cengkeh Turi Accessions, Tanah Seribu Accessions). This research was conducted at Jalan Eka Warni, Gedung Johor Subdistrict, Medan Johor District, Medan from March-July 2019. The results of this research indicated that the growth and morphological production of several sweet potato clones had a significant effect on the parameters of fresh shoot weight per sample, number of tubers per sample and tuber weight per sample and no significant effect on the parameters of stem length and harvest index. Likewise, the ridge size had no significant effect on stem length, fresh shoot weight per sample, number of tubers per sample, tuber weight per sample and harvest index. Tanah Seribu Accession was the best clones when compared to Sari Variety and Cengkeh Turi Accession and 15 cm was the best ridge size.
