Abstract
The development of vegetative propagation techniques for porang (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) is crucial for augmenting plant populations. However, a significant challenge encountered during this process pertains to the plant's six-month dormancy period during the dry season. Both the bulbil seeds and tubers enter this dormant state as a natural adaptation mechanism, thereby prolonging the harvest timeframe. If you can wake Bubils and bulbs when they are dormant, it will shorten the waiting time for harvest. The current study proposes a methodology to overcome this dormancy period, with the aim of reducing the time to harvest. Traditionally, there has been a lack of effective treatments to alleviate the dormancy of bulbils during the dry season, leading to an extended harvest period of approximately three years. The proposed method involves the application of growth regulators to bulbil seeds and tubers during the dry season, followed by planting to obtain small to medium-sized tubers. Results indicate that the application of growth regulators markedly accelerates the germination of bulbil seeds and growth of porang tubers. Notably, almost all treated bulbils (95%) demonstrated premature shoot emergence. Consequently, porang farmers are projected to achieve a significant reduction in time to harvest large tubers, from three years down to one year. This study provides novel insights and practical solutions for the porang farming industry, potentially revolutionizing current farming practices and significantly enhancing crop yield within a reduced timeframe.
