Abstract
Climate change is causing garlic cultivation problems almost all over the world. One of the efforts that can be made to obtain high yields is the use of quality planting materials. Planting material from bulbil and tuber second generation (G2) from bulbil is feasible to study for use as planting material. This study aims to examine the yield potential of various kinds of garlic planting material. The study used a randomized complete block design with 2 treatment factors. Factor 1 were the type of bulbs (parent bulb, parent bulbil, bulb G2, and bulbil G2), and factor 2 were the immersion concentration of GA3 (0 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm) and repeated 3 times. The results showed that conditions of high extreme temperatures caused abnormal growth of garlic, low plant vigor, decreased growth and yield and high plant mortality. Although the plant growth is not normal, the planting material for bulbs G2 and bulbil G2 has the potential to be developed as planting material. This can be seen from the variables of plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, bulbs dry weight and bulbs diameter.
