Tiga faktor yang mempengaruhi penghasilan dan mutu tauge telah dikaji. Faktor
tersebut ialah berat kacang, jumlah air dan kekerapanpenyiraman. Berat kacang
yang optimum untuk kotak kayu yang berukuran 40 cm x 25 cm x 28 cm
menghasilkan hipokotil yang paling gemuk. Keputusan daripada ujikaji
menunjukkan bahawa penyiraman air pada setiap 2.5 jam menghasilkan tauge
yang lebih banyak daripada penyiraman setiap 3.5 jam. Kedua-dua selang masa
penyiraman air telah menghasilkan nisbah tauge : kacang yang melebihi 5:1.
Walauprm selang masa 2.5 jam penyiraman air morghasilkan tauge yang lebih
gemuk dan panjang, nisbah panjang hipokotil : panjang akar adalah kurang
daripada l. Keperluan air sebanyak l0 liter bagi I kg kacang adalah mencukupi.
Analisis regressi secara berperingkat menunjukkan bahawa penghasil an
dipengaruhi dengan ketara oleh berat kacang dan kekerapanpenyiraman air bagi
keduadua ujikaji.
Abstract
Three factors affecting quality and production of bean sprout were studied. The
factors studied were seed weight, water quantity and watering frequency. The
optimum seed weight of 3.25 kg for wooden boxes of 40 cm x 25 cm x 28 cm
produced the maximum hypocotyl thickness. Results showed that watering
frequency of 2.5 h interval gave significantly higher yield compared with 3.5 h
interval. Both watering frequenciesresulted in a sprout:beanratio greater than
5:1. Although significantly thicker and longer sprouts were obtained wi0r 2.5 h
watering, the hypocotyl length : root length ratio of the sprout was less 0ran l.
Ten litres of water per kilogram of seed was adequatefor the production of
sprout. Stepwise regression analysis showed that production was significantly
influenced by seed weight and water frequency for both experimens.
