Deskripsi

The results of the experiment showed that the variety Santa was significant superior than Draga in leaf area, mean number of tubers.Plant-1, total yield. Plant-1 and the percentage of number of tubers with the size 1.5- 2 cm, which reached 9.3, 26.56, 6.34 % and 47% respectively there were no differences between them in the tuber sizes of 2-3 cm. The Draga variety significantly differ than Santa on the tubers size 0.7-1.5 and 3-5 cm and the ratio was 2.5% and 79.8%, respectively. The growing media M1 significantly superior than M2 and M3 in leaves area, numbers of minitubers and total yield.Plant-1 reached 26.26Dcm2, 19.69 minitubers and 427.37g .plant-1 respectively. The media M3 significantly differed from M2 and M1 in the tubers size 3-5cm and their ratio were 19.0%, 15.8% and 15.2% respectively. The Draga variety in M2 media significantly differed than Santa in M1 media in differed from tubers size and the ratio reached 20.5% and 10.1% respectively.
