Abstract:
The study entitled THIGMOTROPISM IN Vigna unguiculata subsp. Sesquipedalis (c.n SITAW).
determines the age of the plants when their vines start to form, the significant differences between
and among the treatment means in terms of distance per twining, number of twining and the direction
of twining of the plant. The sitaw seeds were planted on the plot having different diameter of pole (T1,
T2, and T3) to support their vines. The changes were monitored every 24 hours. The result shows that
the age of the plants when their vines tips begin to appear is mostly seen between 23rd to 26th day.
There is no significant difference between the treatment with pole diameter of T1 and T2, and there is
significant difference between and among the treatment pole diameter T1 and T3, T2 and T3 in terms
of distance per twining. There is no significant difference between the treatment with pole diameter T1
and T2, however, there is a significant difference between treatment pole diameter T1 and T3, T2 and T3
in terms of number of twines per vine. The direction of twining is counter clock wise for all the plant
plots with pole diameter T1, T2, and T3.
