Effects of different Clorox concentrations for 30 min immersion on explant surface sterilization and survival rate of ‘Bentong’ ginger rhizome sprouted buds explants.

Treatment (Clorox® %)	Aseptic Culture ± SE (%)	Survival Rate ± SE (%)
Control	0.00 ± 0.00 e	0.00 ± 0.00 d
30	41.25 ± 3.75 d	100.00 ± 0.00 a
40	43.75 ± 3.15 cd	100.00 ± 0.00 a
50	51.25 ± 3.75 bc	100.00 ± 0.00 a
60	57.5 ± 3.23 b	91.48 ± 3.41 b
70	75 ± 3.54 a	83.60 ± 4.18 c

Values are means ± standard error (SE) (n = 80). Means within columns followed by the different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 using Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT).
