Abstract
Abstract This study aims to improve the ability of sweet potato plants to obtain photosynthetic active radiation through a combination of stake angle with mulch as a reflector. The experiments were arranged in a separate plot design with three replications. The main plot consisted of Cangkuang variety with 90° stakes and Cangkuang varieties with 60° stakes. The subplots consisted of no mulch, straw mulch, white sand mulch, clear plastic mulch, and black silver plastic mulch. The results showed that the use of mulch as a reflector on both stake angle was able to increase photosynthesis active radiation by 27.84% to 34.63% compared to without mulch at 16.82%, and the optimum leaf area index at the age of 100 DAP was 3.74 to 4.45 at stake angle of 90° and 3.23 to 4.10 at stake angle of 60°. The number of tubers per plant increased and reached the highest of 3.17 and 4.50 in straw mulch, the number of marketable tubers from 51.90% to 59.23% compared to without mulch of 41.97% for stakes angle of 90° and 44.67% to 65.83% compared without mulch of 32.47% for stakes angle of 60°.
