TANAM TEBU SEPERTI INI HASILNYA MAKSIMAL ?? | PANDUAN TEKNIS BUDIDAYA TEBU

Summary

In this video, Dedi Purwantoro, a researcher from Indonesia's Sugar Plantation Research Center, provides a detailed guide on planting sugarcane. He explains the importance of selecting quality BL variety seeds, preparing seed cuttings (bagal) with optimal bud counts, and arranging them properly in planting rows. The video covers critical stages of sugarcane growth, from germination and early sprouting to vegetative development, highlighting key practices such as fertilization, herbicide application, irrigation, and drainage management. By focusing on the first three months, considered the 'golden period,' Dedi emphasizes techniques to ensure strong shoot emergence and healthy crop establishment for optimal sugarcane yield.

Takeaways

• 🌱 The initial and most important step in sugarcane cultivation is selecting high-quality seeds or cuttings, known as 'bagal'.
• 🌾 The BL variety of sugarcane is highly popular in East Java, particularly in Lumajang, due to its good growth characteristics.
• ✂️ Bagal cuttings are divided into segments called 'mata tunas' (buds), and ideally 2-3 buds per cutting are recommended for even sprouting.
• 🪴 Planting layout involves arranging the bagal cuttings in furrows with proper overlap to ensure optimal growth.
• 📏 Planting density is suggested at 10-12 buds per meter to achieve strong and uniform growth.
• 🌿 After one month of planting, at least 70% of the buds should have sprouted to avoid the need for replanting.
• 🧪 Sugarcane growth goes through four physiological stages: sprouting, tillering, vegetative growth, and maturation.
• 💧 Fertilization and herbicide applications are scheduled at key growth stages: after planting, one month, and one and a half months.
• 🚜 Additional soil management like subsoiling, drainage preparation, and internal channeling supports healthy plant development.
• ⏳ The first three months post-planting are critical (Golden Period) for sugarcane, requiring focused care, proper irrigation, and drainage management.

Q & A

Who is the presenter in the video, and what is his role?

The presenter is Dedi Purwantoro, a researcher from the Indonesian Sugar Plantation Research Center, specializing in the national sugar industry.

What type of sugarcane variety is discussed in the video?

The video focuses on the BL sugarcane variety, which is very popular in Lumajang and the surrounding regions of East Java.

How should the sugarcane seed (bagal) be prepared before planting?

Bagal should be cut into segments with 2 to 3 buds per piece to ensure even sprouting and healthy plant growth.

What is the recommended number of buds per meter when planting sugarcane?

It is recommended to plant 10 to 12 buds per meter to achieve optimal growth and coverage.

What are the four phases of sugarcane growth mentioned in the video?

The four phases are: 1) germination, 2) tillering (anakan growth), 3) vegetative growth, and 4) ripening/maturation.

What should be the target sprouting rate one month after planting?

The target sprouting rate is at least 70% of the buds to ensure successful plant establishment.

What types of fertilizers and timing are recommended for sugarcane cultivation?

Fertilizer practices include: a base fertilizer applied before planting, the second fertilizer around 1.5 months after planting, and subsequent fertilization to support new shoots and growing stems.

How is weed control managed in the first month of sugarcane planting?

Herbicide is applied about a week after planting to control weeds and support early growth.

Why is drainage management important, and when should it be prioritized?

Drainage is crucial to prevent waterlogging, particularly in rainy periods, and should be prioritized during the critical early growth period up to three months (the Golden Period).

What is considered the 'Golden Period' in sugarcane cultivation, and why is it critical?

The Golden Period spans from planting up to three months. It is critical because proper care during this phase—watering, fertilization, and plant health management—directly affects overall crop yield.
