Abstract

An important factor in the growth and increase in the brix value of sugarcane is the fulfillment of the plant's nutrient needs through fertilization. Exploration and application of root bacteria can increase the population of nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can provide N nutrients that can be utilized by plants. Amino acids directly or indirectly in essential quantities can influence plant physiological activity and increase overall yield and quality. The research purpose is to determine and analyze the influence of the application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids on the growth and the brix value of sugarcane sap. This research used a Randomized Block Design experimental design, with one treatment factor: control (without application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids), application of sugarcane root bacteria, application of amino acids, and application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids. Data analysis with F test 5%. The result of the research showed that the application of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids had a very significant effect on the plant height and root volume of sugarcane and had a significant effect on the stem diameter, as well as the highest brix sap value in the combined treatment of sugarcane root bacteria and amino acids, namely 18,28%.
