Description
Summary:Plagiotropic cocoa is an alternative of cocoa branching architecture that derived from clonally propagation, especially from grafting and cuttings. Propagation by cuttings and grafting have long been practiced even though in smallholders scale but the information in cocoa were limited. This study sought to observe the vegetative and production aspect of plagiotropic cocoa derived from cutting and grafting. The research was conducted in Kaliwining Experimental Station in East Java start from 2017 – 2020. The research was consisted of two propagation methods of plagiotropic cocoa i. e. cutting and grafting. The following parameter were measured: vegetative stage (plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, branching angle), rooting performance, and generative stages (number of pods and production component). In vegetative stages, that plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves derived from cutting propagation method was higher than grafting propagation method. The production of plagiotropic cocoa derived from cutting propagation showed earlier and higher production than grafting propagation.
