Thigmotropism in Vigna Unguiculata subsp. Sesquipedalis (c.n Sitaw)

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 (T_1, T_2, 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 23^rd to 26^th 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 T_3, 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 T_3, 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 T_1, T_2, and T_3.
