PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT YANG DIBERI TRICHOKOMPOS DENGAN FREKUENSI BERBEDA PADA PEMBIBITAN UTAMA
ABSTRACT: The experiment aims
to determine the effect of application with different frequency of
Trichocompost on the growth of seedlings of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
and gain the best frequency of Trichocompost for the growth of oil palm seedlings
in the main nursery stage. This research was conducted at the Agriculture
Experiment Station of Agriculture Faculty University of Riau, from April to
August 2015. The treatment were consisted of 4 frequencies, ie: without giving
Trichocompost (F0), Trichocompost given one time (F1), Trichocompost given two
times (F2) and Trichocompost given three times (F3) that repeated 4 times. Data
were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan's multiple range
test at 5% level. Parameters measured were: seedling height (cm), number of
leaves (leaf), stump diameter (cm), the ratio of the canopy root dry weight (g)
and root volume (cm3). The result of the research showed that frequencies of
Trichocompost significantly affected on plant height and plant dry weight, but
not significantly effect on the number of leaves, hump diameter and canopy
ratio of root volume. Trichocompost given three times tended to give a better
effect on seedling height (73.02 cm) and seedling dry weight (83.07 g).
