Abstract
Cinnamon can be propagated generatively and vegetatively. Vegetative propagation will generate the similar characteristics as its parent tree, hence facilitating the providing of high quality seedling. The research objective was to obtain the suitable vegetative propagation technology for cinnamon by cutting. The research was conducted at Cimanggu Research Installation, ISMCRI, Bogor from January to December 2018. The experiment was designed in randomized block design, 2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor was cutting materials : shoot cutting from 1) the 1st-2nd node 2) the 3rd-4th node and 3) the 5th-6th node. The second factor was planting medium 1) manure: husk charcoal: soil (2: 1: 1), 2) manure: cocopeat: soil (2: 1: 1), and 3) water. The shoot cutting from the 5th-6th node indicated better plant growth than from the 1st-2nd node, although not significantly different from the 3rd-4th node. Cuttings grown in water medium indicated no new shoot emergence until the last observation. However, cuttings planted in charcoal or cocopeat media, grew well and showed no significant differences in all parameters. Cinnamon plant can be propagated vegetatively by cutting using shoot cuttings from 5th-6th node or the 3rd-4th node grown in media contained husk charcoal or cocopeat.
