PENGARUH KOMPOS KULIT BUAH KAKAO DI MEDIUM PODSOLIK MERAH KUNING (PMK) TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq)
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to determine the effect of compost pod husks and bark compost dose of
the best cacao in the medium Red Yellow Podzolic on the growth of seedlings of oil palm
(Elaeis guineensis Jacq). This research was conducted at the experimental farm,
Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau Jl. Bina Widya Baru Simpang KM 12.5,
Tampan, Pekanbaru. This study was conducted over four months starting from June
2015 to September 2015. This study was conducted experimentally using a
completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of 5 treatments and each
treatment was repeated 4kali thus obtained 20 experimental units, each unit
consisting experiment of 2 seeds. The total number of 40 seeds and seedlings
observations were made at all. Parameters measured were as height seed, in the
number of leaves, the increase in diameter stump, root volume, dry weight ratio
of canopy seeds and roots. It can be concluded that composting pod husks on oil
palm seedlings in the medium PMK significant effect on the increase seedling
height, leaf number, root volume and dry weight of seedlings, but the effect is
not noticeable to the diameter of the stump and roots canopy ratio. At doses of
compost pod husks 125 g/polybag provide the best dose results in increase in
the number of leaves, root volume and dry weight of seedlings. As for the high
increment dose of compost plant pod husks best was 50 g/polybag. While on the
increase in diameter tubers and roots canopy ratio dose of 100 g/polybag is the
best dose.
