Agronomic responses of several rice varieties on ratoon salibu system

Abstract

Abstract Salibu rice cultivation is one of the technological innovations to spur productivity or increase production. Salibu technology (modified ratoon) is a rice cultivation technology that utilizes rootstocks after harvest to produce shoots or tillers for nurturing. These shoots function as seeds in a transplanting system. Cutting treatment on the first generation of salibu crop started when the mother plant harvested at 132 days after sowing at 20 cm above the soil surface, and then re-cut seven days after harvest at 3-5 cm above the soil surface. Cutting treatment on the second generation of salibu crop started when the first generation of salibu crop harvested at 94 days. The results showed that the Batang Piaman variety has the best agronomic responses on the ratoon salibu system because the yield was 60% for the first generation of salibu and 62.5% for the second generation of salibu. Ketan Grendel variety the product was 70.5% for the first generation of salibu and 55% for the second generation of salibu.
