II . PLANTING
Making Ajiran

    
made of bamboo stakes as high as 80-100 cm .
    
Put the stem marker as a benchmark in the next pengajiran .
Preparation of Planting Holes

    
Two weeks before planting , prepare the planting hole size of 40 x 50 x 40 cm with a spacing of 3 x 4 m .
    
Planting hole given 5 kg of manure and TSP plus 1-5 grams / hole .
planting Seeds

    
Cocoa seedlings were aged 3 months ( height 50 cm ) inserted into the planting hole and covered with soil excavation .
    
Cocoa shade plants include : coconut, albizia , and teak .
    
Trees shade gradually reduced / cut in line with the development of the cocoa plant .
III . MAINTENANCE
A. FERTILIZING
Fertilization can be done in the first 3 months of age using urea fertilizer , organic and NPK with ½ kg dose ( 1 : 2 : 1 ) , the second crop fertilization age of 9 months using urea fertilizer , organic and NPK at a dose of 1 kg ( 1 : 2 : 1 ) , and any subsequent fertilization is done every 6 months to 3 years old plants ( plants begin to harvest ) . Fertilization after the harvest is done every 3 months by using urea , SP 36 and ½ kg dose of NPK with a ratio of 1 : 1 : 1 .
B. PRUNINGThe purpose of trimming to get a balanced canopy growth , firm and high production as well as reduce moisture and facilitate the implementation and maintenance of harvest . Pruning can be done 3 times , namely :

    
trimming the shape that the 8-12 month old plants .
    
maintenance pruning when the plants are 18-36 months old .
    
production pruning is done after the plants begin to bear fruit is by throwing twigs , shoots water , and dried branches as well as branches that grow
    
hang and overlap.
WEED CONTROL C.
The main weeds in crops of cocoa among other weeds weeds . Control is done by mechanical means ( revoked by hoe / sickle ) and chemical means ( spraying with herbicide ) .
IV . PEST AND DISEASE CONTROL
Major pests and diseases that attack the cocoa plant is Fruit Borer , Fruit Cooker Cocoa and Root Fungus Disease . Control efforts done by chemical ( pesticide spraying ) and environmental sanitation gardens .
V. HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST
1.PANEN

    
Cocoa pods are harvested when it is quite ripe but not overly ripe , yellow or red (age 5,5-6 months since flowering ) .
    
Harvesting is done every 1-2 weeks , using a sickle and carried out in the morning .
    
Performed after the first harvest the cocoa plant 3 years old , with the average productivity - average 150-170 kg of dry seed / ha per month .
2.PEMECAHAN FRUIT
Solving made ​​with cocoa fruit banged on a blunt object to break, then the seeds are removed and put in a plastic bag .
3 . Fruit ripening
Fruit ripening is done to facilitate in removing the pulp / mucus , eliminating the ability to grow the seed , seed color change and get the aroma and delicious taste . Curing is done by means of stored cocoa beans in jute sack / plastic then crushed wood / board for 1-2 days .
4 . DRYING
Dried cocoa beans for 2 days until the moisture content to 9 -11 % .
5 . STORAGE
Cocoa beans are stored in jute sacks lined with pallet with a pallet and floor minimum distance of 10 cm .
VI . MARKETING

    
Sales conducted at - least once a month .
    
The selling price of dry beans in Banyumas today is USD 22.000/Kg .

cabbage cultivation

1 . A Brief HistoryCabbage or cabbage ( Brassica oleracea ) is a vegetable crop plant family Brassicaceae trunked form of software known since ancient times ( 2500-2000 BC ) and is a plant that is adored and glorified ancient Greek society .Initially cabbage is a nuisance plants ( weeds ) that grow wild along the Mediterranean coast , on the reefs coast of England , Denmark and the western coast of northern France . Cabbage was planted in the gardens of Europe about the 9th century and brought to America by European emigrants and Indonesia to the 16th or 17th century . At first cabbage grown for its nut .1.2 . Investment centersCol. widely grown in the highlands with centers located in Dieng , Wonosobo , Tawangmangu , Kopeng , Salatiga , Weight Sari , Purbalingga , Malang , Berastagi , Argalingga , Tosari , Cipanas , Lembang , Garut , Canning and several other areas in Bali , East Timor , East Nusa Tenggara and Irian Jaya , but some varieties can be grown in the lowlands .1.3 . types of PlantsBased on the classification , kale / cabbage included in :a) Division : Spermatophytab ) Sub-Division : Angiospermaec ) Class : Dicotyledonaed ) Family: Cruciferaee ) Genus : Brassicaf ) Species : Brassica oleraceaThis classification descended from varieties cultivated cabbage plants , following a high-yielding varieties of cabbage :1 . White cabbage ( var. capitata L. B.o. f.alba DC . )1 . Cabbage heads round : round crop and compact , small to medium size leaves , outer leaves have light green , have a terrace or a small heart and has a short stem . Some high yielding varieties of white cabbage heads round :- Globe Master : 75 day maturity , production of 2-2.5 kg / plant- Emerald Cross Hybrid : 45 day maturity , production of 1.2 kg / plant- Copenhagen Market : 72 day maturity , production of 1.8 to 2 kg / plant- KK Cros : 58 day maturity , production of 1.6 kg / plant- Green Cup : 73 day maturity , production of 1.5 kg / plant- Ecarliana : 60 day maturity , the production of 1 kg / plant2 . A pointed round head cabbage : cabbage Crop is round with a tapered tip top so it looks elliptical . Examples of commercial varieties :- Early Jersey Wakefield : 63 day maturity , the production of 1 kg / plant- Green Point : 50 day maturity , the production of 1 kg / plant3 . Flat round head cabbage : cabbage Crop is round , flat top and appear flattened ( see " squashed cabbage " , the crop is less compact and hollow , medium to large size and has a curved outer leaves towards the head cover . Several commercial types are :- Premium Flat Dutch : 100 day maturity , production of 4.5 kg / plant .- Early Flat Dutch : 83 day maturity , production from 2.4 to 2.7 kg / plant .- OS Cross : 80 day maturity , production of 2 kg / plant .- Surehead : 93 day maturity , production of 3 to 4.5 kg / plant .- Cabbage 632 Spring Light : 65 day maturity , production of 1.8 kg / plant .- Cabbage 633 Summer Autumn : 60 day maturity , production of 2 kg / plant .- Cabbage 634 Good Season : 45 day maturity , production of 1.8 kg / plant .- Cabbage 635 Summer Summit : 50 day maturity , production of 2 kg / plant .- Cabbage 636 Tropical Delight : harvesting 50-55 days , production of 2 kg / plant .- Cabbage 637 Summit : 50 day maturity , production of 1.5 kg / plant .2 . Red cabbage ( var. capitata L. B.o. f . Rubra . )Crop compact globular purplish red and the outer surface covered with a layer of leaves . Some of the varieties that have economic value :- Ruby perfection : bright red color of the crop , harvest 80 days of age , the production of 1.6 kg / plant .- Mammoth Red Rock : deep red -purple color of the crop and hard , harvesting age of 100 days , the production of 3.4 kg / plant .- Rubby ball : color crimson crop , harvesting age 65 days , the production of 1.5 kg / plant .- Res Acre : color crimson crop , harvesting age of 76 days , the production of 1.8 kg / plant .3 . Savoy cabbage ( var. B.o. Sabauda L. )The characteristics have shaped leaf curl Chronicle / beef belly , green , shaped crop variety, round and conical . Cabbage is commonly called curly kale / cabbage tripe . Examples of some commercial varieties :- Perfection Drumhead : 90 day maturity , production from 2.7 to 3.2 kg / plant .- Vorbote : production of 1-2 kg / plant .- Savoy King Hybrid : 80 day maturity , production of 1.8 kg / plant .- Savoy Ace : 80 day maturity , production of 1.6 kg / plant .- Langedijk Early Yellow : production of 1.5-2 kg / plant .- Langedijk Yellow Storage : production of 2-3 kg / plant .In addition to the above types of cabbage there are other types of commercial enough ie brussel sprouts ( Bo var . Gemmivera DC . ) .1.4 . benefits of PlantsAs food for cooking purposes such as soups , vegetables ve, pecel selling traditional and others or eaten directly ( fresh vegetables ) with another menu . Another benefit can be made food products such as instant noodles , snacks and other fast food .In the health sector , can be used as a deterrent and thrush medication , beriberi , Xerophthalmia disease , nerve inflammation , weak muscles , injuries to the edge of the mouth , dermatitis lips become red and inflamed tongue , the content of niacin can prevent disease and palagra bone and teeth formation .

II . GROWTH CONDITIONS2.1 . climate1 . Wind influence is felt on land evaporation and crop evapotranspiration . The rate of high winds in a long time ( continuous ) resulted in a balance between soil water content and the disturbed air , the soil is dry and hard , decomposition of organic matter is inhibited, reduced nutrients and toxins pose no oxidation due to the toxic gases in the soil .2 . Mentioned rainfall amounts to 80 % of normal ( 30 cm ) gives an average yield of 12 % below the normal average .3 . Stadia seedlings require light intensity is weak so the need shade to avoid direct sunlight is harmful to the growth of seedlings . While the growth stadia needed strong light intensity , so it does not require shade .4 . Cabbage plants can live on air temperature 10-24 degrees C with an optimum temperature of 17 degrees C. For a short time , most cold-resistant varieties of cabbage ( minus 6-10 derajatC ) , but for a long time , will be damaged unless cabbage cabbage leaves, small ( < 3 > 9 ) , is toxic to plant roots .4 . Good soil water content is available on the water content , ie between 2.5-4 pF . Thus cabbage crops require irrigation well enough ( irrigation and drainage ) .2.3 . The altitudeCabbage plants can grow optimally at an altitude of 200-2000 m above sea level . For highland varieties , can grow well at an altitude of 1000-2000 m above sea level .

III . TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR RAISING3.1 . Nurseries3.1.1 . Seed requirementsGood seed should meet the following requirements :a) seeds intact , meaning no injuries or disabilities .b ) The seeds must be free of pests and diseases .c ) The seed must be pure , that is not mixed with seeds or other seeds as well as clean of dirt .d ) The seeds were taken from the superior type or healthy cuttings .e ) Has a 80 % germination rate .f) The good seed will sink when immersed in water .3.1.2 . Seed PreparationPreparation of seed intended to accelerate seed germination and improve plant resistance to disease . Ways of preparation is as follows :1 . Sterilization of seeds , by soaking the seeds in fungicide solution with the recommended dose or by soaking the seeds in hot water of 55 degrees C for 15-30 minutes .2 . Selection of seed , by soaking the seeds in water , where the good seeds will sink .3 . Soak the seeds for ± 12 hours or until the seed is broken so that seeds germinate faster .Supplies of seed per acre depending on variety and plant spacing , generally it takes 300 grams / ha .The seeds should be sown and dibumbun before dipindahtanam to the field . Seeding can be done in beds or directly on the tube ( containers ) . Tube can be made from banana leaves , paper -walled plastic food or a small polybag .3.1.3 . Seed Seeding TechniqueThings to consider in determining the location of the nursery include: ( 1 ) the land does not contain pests and diseases or other factors that harm ; ( 2 ) the location gets enough sunlight exposure ; and ( 3 ) close to the source of clean water .Seeding can be done in the following way :1 . Seeding on bedsBefore the beds made ​​, cultivated land 30 cm deep and made ​​beds 110-120 cm wide extending from the north to the south . Add manure fine sieve and mix with the soil at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:1 . Beds shaded with shade plastic , straw or leaves as high as 1.25 to 1.50 m on the east side and 0.8-1.0 m on the west side . Seeding can be done in two ways , that is spread evenly on the beds or distributed in the lineup as deep as 0.2 to 1.0 cm . The first way requires less seed than the second way . About 2 weeks after sowing , the seedlings were transferred to the tube . Tube can be made of banana leaves or paper -walled plastic with a diameter of 4-5 cm and a height of 5 cm or 7x10 cm polybags which has two small holes on either side of the bottom. Mixed media sieve tube filled mature manure and finely ground with a ratio of 1:2 or 1:1 . The advantage is saving time , the surface of the narrow swath of seedlings and seed number much wider unity . The disadvantage is the use of a lot of seeds , weeding difficult , requiring skilled labor , especially when transplanting to the field .2 . Seeding in the tube ( containers or polybags )In this way , one by one seed put in a tube that is made in a manner as above . Tube can be made ​​of banana leaves or coconut leaves and tall with a diameter of 5 cm or with a small poly measuring 7-8 cm x 10 cm . Seeding medium is a mixture of fine soil with manure ( 2:1 ) as much as 90 % . Media should be sterilized beforehand by steaming seedling seedling media at temperatures 55-100 degrees C for 30-60 minutes or by spraying a solution of 4 % formalin , closed plastic sheet ( 24 hours ) , and then aerated. Another way to mix media seedlings with fumigant substance Basamid - G ( 40-60 g/m2 ) 10-15 cm deep , drenched with water until damp and covered with a plastic sheet ( 5 days ) , and then opened the plastic and aerated soil ( 10-15 days ) .3 . The combination means a) and b ) .The first seed sowing in plots persemain , after 4-5 days old ( 3-4 leaf blade ) , transferred into a tube .4 . Planting directly .That is by planting seeds directly into the soil . The surplus is the time , cost and more power -efficient , but the drawback is that more intensive treatment .Land nurseries can be replaced with nursery box and done in the following way ;1 . Create a medium consisting of soil , sand and manure ( 1:1:1 ) .2 . Create a timber nursery box ( 50-60 cm x 30-40 cm x 15-20 cm ) and the bottom of the box for drainage holes .3 . Enter into the box with tebalan medium 10-15 cm .3.1.4 . Seeding Maintenance / Seeding1 . Watering is done every day in the morning and afternoon depending on the weather .2 . Regulatory shade nursery is open every morning until 10:00 and start at 15:00 pm . Beyond the above period , the light of the sun is too hot and less favorable for seed .3 . Weeding is done on other plants that are considered disturbing the growth of seedlings , other rumput-rumput/gulma done by pulling the sidelines growing staple crops .4 . Fertilizer urea solution with a concentration of 0.5 g / liter and spraying pesticides ½ dose if needed .5 . Pests that attack seeds and young plants have not grown are ants , slugs , snails , caterpillars tritip , Budworms , mollusk and fungi . Meanwhile , the disease is a wilt disease . Prevention and eradication of Insecticides and fungicides are used as Furadan 3 G , Antrocol , Dithane , Hostathion and others.3.1.5 . Seed removalThe move was made when the seedlings have to have a strong rooting . Seedlings from seeds / seed ready to be planted after the age of 6 weeks or have leaved 5-6 strands , whereas seedlings from cuttings can be moved after the age of 28 days .Transplanting is done in the following way :1 . Unplug the system , seeds removed carefully so as not to damage the roots . When sowing in polybags , seed collection is done by reversing the polybag seedlings clamped between the index and middle finger , then gently patted poly bag until the seeds out . When sowing seeds in tube banana leaf or coconut leaves , seeds can be planted together bumbungnya .2 . Rotation system , how the soil and watered the seeds with soil taken and 2.5-3 cm of the stem with a depth of 5 cm .3.2 . Media Processing Plant3.2.1 . preparationLand should not mined land planted with crops other Cruciferae family . PH measurement and analysis of soil organic matter content to determine the suitability of land planted with cabbage / cabbage .Digemburkan ground and reversed by hoeing or plowed as deep as 40-50 cm , cleaned from the remains of plants and fertilizer base . After that , left exposed to sunlight for 1-2 weeks to allow oxidation of toxic gases and kill the pathogen sources .3.2.2 . Making BedsThe pile was made by the East - West direction , the width of 80-100 cm , height 35 cm and length depending on the circumstances of the land. Trench width ± 40 cm between beds ( ANR drainage ditch 60 cm ) with a depth of 30 cm ( 60 cm PPA ) .3.2.3 . LimingFunction to raise the soil pH and prevent nutrient deficiencies of macro and micro . Dose -dependent liming the pH range of numbers , generally between 1-2 tons of lime per acre . Yag lime type used include : Captan ( calcit ) and Dolomite .3.2.4 . fertilizationBeds ready for planting base fertilizer that contains elements of Nitrogen and Potassium , which is Za , Urea , TSP and KCl respectively 250 kg , and Borate Borax or 10-20 kg / ha . Manure application done as much as 0.5 kg per plant .3.3 . Planting techniques3.3.1 . Determination of Planting PatternDetermination of plant cropping pattern and soil fertility is very dependent crop varieties with a spacing of 50 x 50 cm . There are two planting patterns and regular array such as a square pattern ; pattern of equilateral triangles ; square pattern and sequence patterns ( single row and double row ) . The pattern of equilateral triangles and squares obtained quite good because the more the number of plants .3.3.2 . Hole Making PlantPlanting hole is made in accordance with the spacing of deep hoe or the size of mid -line of 20-25 cm 10-15 cm deep .3.3.3 . How Planting1 . Good planting time is in the morning between the hours of 6:00 to 10:00 or 15:00 to 17:00 o'clock in the afternoon between , because the influence of the sun and the temperature is not too high .2 . Choose seeds that are fresh and healthy ( no disease or pest ) .3 . When sowing the seed tube or banana leaves , along with the planted bumbungnya , when sown in plastic polybag then removed first by reversing the polybag seedlings clamped between the index and middle fingers , then polybag patted gently until the seeds out of the polybag .4 . When sowing in seedbed taken by Solet ( rotation system ) , along with the way he took this seed 2.5-3 cm of the soil around the stems 5 cm .5 . Seedlings planted immediately in pits with finely ground giving it gradually and gently press the soil so that the seed stand upright .6 . Sprinkle the seeds with water until completely wet .3.4 . Plant maintenance3.4.1 . Thinning and StitchingThinning is done when transplanting to the field , which is currently 6 weeks old seedlings or have leaved 5-6 strands ( seedlings seeds ) or 28 days old ( seedlings cuttings ) . When sowing seeds on the tube thinning was not done . While stitching hardly done since the age of the plants are short ( 2-3 months ) .3.4.2 . weedingWeeding is done along with scarify the soil before fertilizing or if there are other plants that interfere with plant growth . Weeding is done carefully and not too deep because it can damage the root system of plants , even at the end of the planting should not be done .3.4.3 . pembubunanPembumbunan weeding is done by lifting the ground with that of the channel in the direction of the beds between beds serves to keep the trench depth and height of raised beds and improve soil friability .3.4.4 . PerempelanPerempelan branch / side shoots done as early as possible in order to keep the parent plant growth as expected , so the nutrients are concentrated on the formation of optimum interest .3.4.5 . fertilizationI do supplementary fertilization with urea 1gram per plant crops circling at a distance of 3 cm while plant life seem to encourage growth . Second fertilization is done at the age of 10-14 days with a dose of 3-5 grams , with a distance of 7-8 cm . The third fertilization is done at the age of 3-4 weeks at a dose of 5 grams at a distance of 7-8 cm . If growth is not optimal fertilization can be done again at the age of 8 weeks .3.4.6 . Irrigation and WateringTiming of water should be done in the morning and evening . In the dry season , watering should be done 1-2 days , especially in the early phase of growth and flower formation .3.4.7 . Pesticide Spraying timeFor prevention , spraying is done before the pests attacking crops or routinely 1-2 weeks with a mild dose . For prevention , spraying is done as early as possible with the right dose , so that pests can be immediately addressed .The type and dosage of pesticides used in pest management vary greatly depending upon the level of pest control and pest populations .3.4.8 . Other maintenanceThe things that are important in caring for plants are :1 . Avoid wounding the plant because of wounds on the plant is one of the effective ways in the transmission of disease and well-liked by pests .2 . In fertilization , fertilizer should not be about the plants and should always be followed by watering .3.5 . Pests and Diseases3.5.1 . pest1 .

techniques produce rambutan season beyond

Rambutan ( Nephelium loppacum L.) is a fruit native to Indonesia with the nature of seasonal fruit . Production outside of rambutan season still has not been done in scale commercial venture . Rambutan trees will naturally be difficult to bear fruit twice a year , due to the induction of flowering depends on environmental factors to grow .
On entering the phase rproduktif , rambutan able to generate a lot of interest . Relationship usually appear on Poster tersebut.malai formed in flower has many ramifications . In each branch appears a lot of interest . Flowers grow on the ends of the twigs are often found growing along with the emergence of new leaves . 7 years old rambutan tree is able to produce 600-800 panicles of flowers per tree , in a panicle panicles are about 17-28 children . Each individual flower panicles containing 500-1700 ( liferdi , 2000)
Induction of flowering of rambutan can be done in various ways among the trunks and crates of water stress . The application of these methods is strongly influenced by local weather conditions / microclimates and reserve status in plant foods , since both strongly affected the flowering and fruiting rambutan . In Indonesia, rambutan fruit only once a year , with harvest season ranges from December - February . In areas with continuous musimhujan pattern , irregular flowering time . The intensity of flowering is closely linked to the level and duration of plant water stress .
Rambutan tree trunk slices are given treatment and followed by treatment with KNO3 spraying as much as 40 g / liter capable of flowering 30 days earlier compared to control trees . The success of this treatment greatly influenced when does the stem slices . Stem slices were made ​​at the time of going into the phase of slow-growing tree , which has been active Trubus telewati , will be able to induce flowers , while the slices are done on a tree trunk that trubusnya still active ( young vegetative shoots ) berdeda flowering time is not real with control trees ( Poerwanto and Irdiastuti , 2003) . Treatment crate can also induce flowering stems off season -on-year during the off season and rambutan flowering during the off year . Treatment rod crate should only be performed on physically healthy trees . Pengeatan twice in two consecutive years could jeopardize the survival of the tree due to scar tissue filter area is difficult to form.
In addition to water stress treatment stem slices can be used to stimulate flowering because ramputan give a positive response to a brief period of kekereingan necessary for flower formation . Flowering intensity associated with the level and duration of plant water stress . Flower emergence is closely linked to the presence of the dry season that followed once the rain once . Liferdi research results ( 2000) showed that the rambutan requires a dry period before flowering . After experiencing a dry spell for a month , rambutan flowers appear about two weeks after a rain or after watering down again .
Paklobutrazol rambutan can induce flowering in off year mas . Rambutan treated paklobutrazol 1.5 g / tree and 3 g / plant significantly increased the number of generative shoots and increase the chlorophyll content of leaves which underpins the fruit compared to control trees . The optimum dose to induce flower is 1.5 g / tree because the dose is not menyebebkan dormant buds , while a dose of 3 g / tree causing dormant buds that need to be followed by administration of dormancy -breaking agents , KNO3 .

technique produces mango season beyond

In Thailand , fresh mango fruit available throughout the year . This could happen due to the application of modern technology production methods or fruit out of season by arrangement flower induction time accompanied by pest control penayakit , pembrongsongan fruit , as well as the provision of water and fertilizer in a balanced manner . Previous naturally mango harvest season hanyabterjadi in April to May. With the technology of production outside the season , mango can be produced from January to December .
Commercial mango plantation talah being opened in Indonesia , constraints are properties of mango fruit plants seasonally so that continuity is difficult , at the time of harvest fruit stock piled so prices fall . To overcome this necessary cultivation techniques that can regulate the time of flowering can be assured of the availability of fruit throughout the year .
Tehinik season mango production beyond the most commonly used is the provision paklobutrazol followed by spraying a substance breaking dormancy . On a commercial scale mango plantations , there is a tendency that the use paklobutrazol already a part of the routine .
Induction of mango flowering occurs 2-3 months after treatment paklobutrazol , depending on varieties . Paklobutrazol treatment on mango yam 21 causes flowering occurred 2 months earlier than normal season . Time ripe fruit faster and more fruit hardness decreases with increasing dose paklobutrazol . Increased yield per tree of 59 % , but the average fruit size decreased . The content of vitamin C increased but pH and total dissolved solids do not change ( Purnomo and Prahardini , 1989) .
From the various studies that have been carried out , the optimum dose to induce flowering mango paklobutrazol and suppress vegetative growth without damaging the trees ranged from 2.5 - 4g of active ingredient / tree or cultar equivalent to 10-16 cc / liter of water / tree . Treatment cultar exceed 20 cc / liter of water / tree led to the emergence of leaf shape changes to indicate that at concentrations above 20 cc / liter of water / tree adverse effects of paklobutrazol .
The results of the study Poerwanto , et al . , (1997 ) showed that a dose of 0.05 g paklobutrazol / tree has been quite effective for mango flowering meninduksi gadung 21 , but followed by the application of dormancy -breaking agents 1 month after spraying paklobutrazol . Paklobutrazol cause induced relationship , but on the other hand also led to the emergence of generative shoots candidates . Provision of dormancy -breaking agents applied to the buds after paklobutrazol application will solve the dormant buds and shoots tersebutmuncul force . Jens and concentration of some dormancy -breaking agents are used , which effectively solve the dormant flower buds that have been induced by the administration of benzyl adenine paklobutrazol is 0.10 g / liter , etefon 0.40 g / l and 40 g KNO3 / l . Because the price of benzyl adenine expensive and difficult to dissolve in water , for commercial purposes are advised to use the etefon . Benzyl adenine is cytokinin group of plant growth regulators which works to increase the rate of cell division in the meristem buds that spurred the development and growth of the shoots . While etefon able to break dormancy of generative buds because ethylene is released from the reaction in the plant increases the permeability of the cell membrane that facilitate the movement of molecules into the cytoplasm . The ability of KNO3 in breaking dormancy may be related to the role of ions k + in increasing translocation of sucrose , increasing the rate of transport of sucrose on apoplas of mesophyll cells of leaves , an increase in the rate of transport of sucrose on aoplas of mesophyll cells of leaves , an increase in the loading of the phloem and the direct effect of an increase in osmotic pressure ( Marschner , 1986) .
Paklobutrazol can diaplikasikannpada plants through two ways , namely : by spraying through the leaves ( folliar spray ) and via soil (soil drenchhing ) . Applications through the soil more effectively than through the leaves and the effect can last longer . Applications through the leaves will be effective if done several times spraying with a low dose . For mango , through the provision of land by means of poured around the base of the tree is done in plants and bud yangsehat 'm not grow shoots or young leaves . While the dormancy -breaking agent is sprayed through the leaf surface evenly throughout the plant one month after administration paklobutrazol ( Subhadrabhandu and Tongumpai , 1990) .
Paklobutrazol addition , another PGR is cyclosel . but paklobutraol more effective than cyclosel the effects can last for more than one year after treatment retardants while others can only survive one season . Paklobutrazol residual effect on mango reported by Subhadrabandhu and tongumpai (1990 ) , that the first year the mango sprayed with 2 gm / tree then sprayed again the following year with a 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g / tree , dose 0.5 and 1.0 g / besides induce flowering trees also increase the percentage of flowering shoots , whereas a dose of 1.5 g / tree , which inhibits flowering of mango . The data show that administration of continuous paklobutrazol would be bad for growth and subsequent flowering .Potassium nitrate ( KON3 ) is also reported to be used to stimulate the production of fruit out of season. The successful use of potassium nitrate in stimulating the production of fruit out of the season has been reported by Efendi (1994 ) on the mango . In philipine use of potassium nitrate on mango has been conducted since 1979 . The invention allows the Philippine mango cultivars produce fruit pico , carabao and pahutan throughout the year and eliminate the biennial bearing ( Bondad , 1990) . Growth regulators NAA ( Naphthalene Acetic Acid ) is also reported to accelerate the flowering of mango . Dosing 25,50 , and 75 ppm can speed up plants berbungan 1-2 weeks compared with those not given the NAA . 1 Frequency spraying once a week for 12 weeks .
