Abstract:
Availability of quality seeds is one of the efforts to increase the productivity of sugarcane and crystal per hectare, because seeds are one of the essential production factors and determine the overall sugarcane production. The research conducted from March to November 2021, in the flat field of sugar factory. Wringin Anom Situbondo covering area of 0.337 hectare. The varieties of seeds planted are Bululawang originated from millable cane using the two buds method. In this research, measured the seed production of millable cane in quintals per hectare provide from spread seed. Production estimates were calculated using yield components, which are the number of saplings per hectare, effective slit length (sugarcane ridge), number of stems per meter of line, harvestable stem length and stem weight per meter. Planting at the spread seed level uses the mule method to produce commercial sugarcane millable cane. The estimation of millable cane production on sugar factories filed. Wringin Anom using mule planting material resulted in a production of 218.69 quintals per hectare. The seed breeding rate based on planted area compared to spread seed land area is 8.1. Fulfillment of millable cane seeds in Sugar factory Wringin Anom Work Area requires a nursery for spread seed covering an area of 28.52 hectare. As the Working Area of sugar factory. Panji requires a seed garden for spread seed covering an area of 6.6 hectare with the assumption that the first planting area is 25% of the sugarcane planting area in each working area. Sugarcane seeding is still needed to ensure the fulfillment of seed needs to secure the needs seeds in planned production field.
