Abstract

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of Indonesia’s strategic food commodities, with Southwest Papua Province serving as one of its main production centers. This region also has a high level of tuber consumption, reflecting the important role of sweet potato as a staple food for the local community. However, in cultivation practices, the availability of planting material often becomes a constraint, especially on a larger cultivation scale. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various concentrations of young coconut water as a growth stimulant for sweet potato cuttings. The research was conducted from January to March 2025 in Giwu Subdistrict, East Sorong District, Sorong City, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments. The results showed that the treatments had a highly significant effect on the emergence rate of shoots and leaves, the number of leaves, as well as the stem and root length of the cuttings. The best result was obtained from the mixture of 750 ml young coconut water and 250 ml water, which produced the highest growth values across all observed parameters.
