Abstract

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) holds significant economic value as a major plantation commodity in Indonesia, yet national productivity remains below optimal levels, primarily due to substandard planting material and inefficient cultivation techniques. Addressing this issue, the study investigates whether early grafting—specifically using Sulawesi 01 and ICCRI 08 clones—enhances cocoa seedling growth performance. Conducted from September to October 2024 at the Cocoa Plant Collection Garden, Field Laboratory, State Polytechnic of Jember, the experiment employed a randomized complete block design with three treatments: early grafting without a specific clone (S), with Sulawesi 01 (TS1), and with ICCRI 08 (TS2), each replicated three times. Weekly measurements of seedling height and leaf number were recorded over five weeks, and data were analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Results revealed that early grafting significantly influenced seedling height across all weeks, with treatment S showing consistently superior growth. However, differences in leaf number among treatments were statistically insignificant. The findings indicate that early grafting without clonal specification may offer a practical advantage for promoting early height growth in cocoa seedlings, contributing to improved propagation strategies and enhanced productivity in cocoa cultivation.
