PERBEDAAN BAHAN STEK DAN KOMPOSISI MEDIA PADA PEMBIBITAN TANAMAN BUAH NAGA (Hylocereus costaricensis)
Abstract: Dragon fruit plant
(Hylocereuscostaricensis) is one character of fruit crops that produce well in
Indonesia that has a big opportunity to build up.These opportunities must be
equilibrated by the provision of seedlings. Media and stem cuttings are a factor
that must be considered in the nursery because it will affect the growth of
seedlings in the field. This research was conducted in the village of dragon
fruit plantations Tameran District of Bengkalis, Bengkalis. Time used in this
study is four (4) months, going from early August to November 2012. The design
used was completely randomized design (CRD) factorial 3 x 3 with three
replications. The first factor is a stem cuttings, which is derived from the
base, middle and tip cuttings. The second factor is the composition of the
media, namely peat, peat and compost mixture of oil palm bunches (EFB) 3: 1
mixture of peat and sago dregs 3: 1. The
parameters those measured were: the number
of roots, root length, root volume, shootsemergence time, shoot length, number
of buds, seedling fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings. Data were analyzed
statistically using Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) up to a further test Honestly
Significant Difference (HSD) level of 5%. Based on the results of this study
concluded that the stem cuttings is best cuttings derived from the middle as it
gives a significantly different effect on the parameters of shoot length and
fresh weight and showing shoots of the fastest growing on the time parameters
appear shoots and shows dry weight of the highest in the parameter dry weight
seedlings . While on treatment composition of the medium obtained composition
best media is derived from peat and compost TKKS (3 : 1) because it gives a
significantly different effect on the parameters of the number of shoots and
shows the root length of the longest on the parameters of the length of roots,
shoots the fastest growing at the time parameters shoots appear and the highest
weight on the parameters of fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings. And for the
combined treatment of stem cuttings and the composition of the media influence
that were not significantly different.
