KARAKTER AGRONOMI SORGUM VARIETAS SAMURAI II FASE VEGETATIF YANG DITANAM PADA JARAK TANAM BERBEDA

Abstract

AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTIC OF VEGETATIVE PHASE SORGUM SAMURAI II VARIETY IN DIFFERENT PLANTING SPACE. The purpose of this research to determine the agronomic characteristic of Samurai II Sorghum with different planting space. This experiment was conducted using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatment consisted of four planting space, (1) 70 cm x 40 cm, (2) 50 cm x 30 cm, (3) 40 cm x 20 cm, and (4) 10 cm x 10 cm, each treatment had five replications. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and HSD test. The variables measured were agronomic characteristic indicated by plant height, number of leaf, width of leaf and length of leaf. The results showed that different planting space were significant different (P<0.01) on plant height, number of leaf, width of leaf and length of leaf. HSD test showed that planting space 70 cm x 40 cm were significant (P<0.01) have higher plant height, number of leaf, width of leaf and length of leaf than planting space 50 cm x 30 cm, 40 cm x 20 cm, and 10 cm x 10 cm. It can be concluded that planting space 70 cm x 40 cm have the highest agronomic characteristic by producing the highest plant height, number of leaf, width of leaf and length of leaf.Key words: sorghum, planting space, agronomic
