Abstract

The use of quality seeds can increase the production of garlic. One indicator of increased yield can be seen from the size of cloves. The research aimed to know the growth and production of garlic from clove size and different seeds storage method. The experiment was conducted at Experimental farm Berastagi that began February-June 2018. The experiments was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors. The first factor is the size of cloves, namely: 2.3 g / clove, 1.4 g / clove, 0.7 g / clove and the second factor is the storage method of separation of tubers and separation of cloves.. The observed variables include plant height, leaf number, leaf length, stem diameter, tuber weight, tuber diameter, number of cloves, and ability to grow. The results showed that storage method had significant effect on percentage of germination seed. Clove weight and storage method not significant effect on plant height, leaf number, leaf length, neck diamter, tuber weight, tuber diameter and number of cloves. Interaction occurs between treatments the neck diameter of garlic

Highlights

Quality seeds are one of the important factors in increasing the productivity of shallots
Vegetative Growth The analysis showed that there was no interaction between BAP application and seed varieties on vegetative growth, flowering, true shallot seeds (TSS) production, and TSS quality
The increase in leaf number and plant height was not caused by BAP application, but by seed varieties (Table 1)

Summary

Introduction

Quality seeds are one of the important factors in increasing the productivity of shallots. Shallots are produced with tubers as planting material or as a source of seeds. The use of onion seeds usually comes from tubers for consumption or imported seeds. The scarcity of seeds is due to the nature of seasonal onion production and short shelf life. According to Hilman et al (2014) scarcity of seeds occurs because farmers tend to sell seeds that have been set aside for the planting season when the price of shallots on the market tends to rise. To overcome the scarcity of tuber seeds, quality onion seeds have been developed, namely botanical seeds or true shallot seeds (TSS)
