Wawan Sulsitiono, SP., MP is a researcher at Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology of North Maluku, Research and Development Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia. His bachelor`s education with interest in Agronomy was completed at Muhammadiyah University of Malang with distinction (citation: cum laude). His Master`s Degree in Agronomy was obtained at Universitas Gadjah Mada with the citation cum laude. He is currently completing a doctoral program at Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta Indonesia, an agricultural studies program with interest in Agronomy. The research topic for the doctoral program is about developing the system of transplanting seedlings on dry land using mycorrhiza and single buds chips seeds. The research program is obtained from the excellent research scheme managed by LPPM (Institute for Research and Community Service) with No.LPPM-UGM/396 /LIT/2014 from Universitas Gadjah Mada and Research and Development Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia. Wawan Sulistiono has published three of his articles from research results in international journals. In addition, Wawan Sulistiono became a reviewer of one of the international journals. The research contributes a knowledge of how to develop of sugarcane cultivation technology using single bud chips seedlings, mycorrhiza, optimal interrow spacing on single bud chips transplanting seedlings on dry land. The results obtained are on how to maintain the growth ability and seeds vigor of single seed buds chips during storage, the mycorrhiza effect on the growth and rooting of single seed bud chips seedlings, as well as the optimal interrow space of the sugarcane single bud chips transplanting seedlings on dry land, which can increase productivity, millable cane and sugar yield, and profitable farming compared to conventional planting systems. Besides, from the interrow spacing study, it is ascertained that growth and physiology traits of dryland sugar cane gives the best result. The results of this study is one of the efforts to address climate change (rainfall) on dry land, minimize the use of irrigation water (without irrigation), and utilize soil microbes (mycchoriza) for sustainable agriculture and profitable farming operation.
