Abstract

The research aimed to evaluate the durability and potential growth of Gynura procumbenscutting after the delivery process in different packaging types. The study was conducted using afactorial completely randomized design (3x3). The first factor was cutting delivery whichconsisted of no delivery (D0), 104 km delivery length/in two days (D1), and 988 km length/inthree days (D2). The second factor was the packaging which consisted of no packaging (P0), drypaper (P1), moistened paper (P2), and bubble wrap plastic(P3). The result showed that thephysical condition of G. procumbens cuttings differed after the delivery and packaging, but therewere no significant differences in statistics. G. procumbens growth rate was 95% to 100%without being affected by the delivery process or packaging types. The delivery process affectsplant height and the number of leaves in 14 days after planting. G. procumbens cuttings havegood durability during the delivery process with different packaging types and the vegetativegrowth rate was not affected.
