PENGGUNAAN MEDIA COCOPEAT BEKAS SEBAGAI MEDIA DAUR ULANG TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN STEK ACACIA CRASSICARPA A. CUNN. EX BENTH DI PELALAWAN CENTRAL NURSERY (PCN)”.
Abstract: As the raw material
of making papers, the need for wood always increases in everyday lives. There
is one alternative to overcome that case; it is by advancing woods plants
industry (HTI). Accacia crassicarpa is a kind of plant grown for HTI, hence it
is necessary for providing a high quality of Accacia crassicarpa seeds and
adding some vegetative plants by cutting a tip of leaf. For increasing the
productivity, 100% of cocopeat media is used. This research used 100% of ex
cocopeat. The problem raised is that the cocopeat media in PCN used only once
in nursery so that it becomes a compost heap. Furthermore, in this research ex
cocopeat is used as the alternative to fulfill the need for seedling media in
PCN, hence the improvement of the quality of ex cocopeat with some tested
treatment scientifically is so much required. The aim of this research is to
find out the effects of using ex cocopeat as recycle media toward the growth of
leaf cutting and determine the finest treatment for seeds growing of Acacia crassicarpa.
The research method arranged in complete random program (RAL). The result
revealed that using ex cocopeat media with the frying treatment can increase
the growth of leaf cutting of Acacia crassicarpa. Fried ex cocopeat media and
added with some dolomite are able to show the growth of leaf cutting of the
finest Acacia crassicarpa with the living percent (86.66%), bud height (5.52%)
and the diameter of leaf cutting (1.37).
