PENGGUNAAN BENZYLAMINOPURINE (BAP) DALAM MEMPERTAHANKAN KUALITAS BUNGA POTONG ANGGREK (VANDA DOUGLAS. JOAQIUM)
ABSTRACT: The increase in the
vaselife is one of the important factors to improve the quality of cut flowers
of orchid Vanda douglas one of which is by giving a growth substance. The
purpose of this research is to examine the influence of BAP and to find the
concentration to reduce decrease of vase life and withered petals as well as
maintaining the period of vase life. This research was conducted in the Biology
Laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the
Tanjungpura University, Pontianak in May 2014. The research methods used was
the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 6 BAP concentration treatments,
i.e. aquades control of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ppm respectively. The results
showed that the giving BAP of 20 ppm could slow down the decrease of vase life
in cut flowers by 35,31%, the number of withered petals by 40% and retained the
period of vase life of cut flowers up to 12,33 days.
