The best age and storage time of planting material sugar cane bud sett need to be known for sending of planting material bud sett that usually far from nurseries. This study aimed to determine the production of sugar cane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) using bud sett planting materials at the various ages (6 months, 7 months, and 8 months) and storages (3 days, 6 days, 9 days, and 12 days). This research was carried out on the land of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan, starting in July 2018 - July 2019. The results showed that the best production was obtained from the use of bud sett aged 7 months and stored for 3 days. The use of bud sett aged 6 and 7 months can be stored up to 9 days, while the use of bud sett aged 8 months can be stored up to 6 days where the results were not significantly different with the use of 7 months planting material and storage for 3 days.
