Pengaruh Pemberian Naungan Terhadap Aklimatisasi Planlet Strowberi Varietas Dorit dan Varietas Lokal Berastagi

Abstract

Strawberry plant tissue culture techniques have been successful in plantlet propagation. In order to produce strawberry seeds that are ready for planting, plantlets must go through the acclimatization stage. A modified growing environment with a plastic hood or housing needs to be considered to provide optimal environmental conditions for the acclimatization of strawberry plantlets. This study aimed to describe the effect of shading and type of variety on plantlet acclimatization of the Dorit variety and the local Berastagi variety. This research was experimental with RAK using 2 factors, namely shade with the plastic thickness of 0.17 mm and 0.12 mm and types of local varieties of Berastagi and Dorit varieties. Parameters observed were climate data, vegetative growth (percentage of plantlets growing, number of stolons, diameter of stolons, number of leaves). The data were analyzed with Anova 2 factors; if the results were significant, it would be continued with Duncan's test. The results showed that the shade had a significant effect on the growth of strawberry plantlets. In contrast, the variety had a significant effect on the vegetative growth of strawberries, and the variety with the best growth was the Berastagi variety.
