PERTUMBUHAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN AKAR SEMAI MANGROVE SEJATI CERIOPS TAGAL (PERR.) C.B.ROB PADA BERBAGAI SALINITAS
ABSTRACT: The deforestation of
mangrove caused by human activities to the effected the composition of mangrove
forest stand. It is therefore needed for mangrove rehabilitation to restore mangrove ecosystem. Growth and root
development of mangrove seedlings Ceriops tagal (Perr.) C.B.Rob under different
salinity was studied in the greenhouse, Faculty of Agriculture, University of
Sumatera Utara, started from 22nd May until 22nd November 2015. This study was
aimed at determining the level of
seedling growth and root development under C. tagal seedlings under different
salinity. This research used the completely
random design (CRD) with 5 treatment, namely 0%, 0,5%, 1,5%, 2%, and 3% for 10 replication. The best
result showed that growth and seedlings development was obtained at 0,5%
salinity, high growth of seedlings at 0,5%, diameter at 0,5%, number of leaf at
0,5%, leaf area at 0,5%, thick leaves at
0,5%, number of root at 0,5%, length roots at 2%, root diameter at 0,5%, the water
content of the root 0%, the water content of the shoot 0,5%, and the ratio of
root and shoot at 0,5%.
