PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN GAHARU Aquilaria spp DENGAN PEMBERIAN MIKORIZA DAN MULSA PADA LAHAN TERBUKA DI TANAH ULTISOL
ABSTRACT: Agarwood (Aquilaria
spp) only can be grown under shade on the first phase of planting because this
plant has silvic semi tolerance. This condition make agarwood difficult to grow
under open field. Due to this condition, to grow in open field, arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi and mulchingare needed. The research work aimed to find the
effect of mycorrhizal fungi and mulching onagarwood growth in open field. The
research work was conducted in experiment garden of Universitas Tanjungpura in
Pak Laheng village, Toho district, Mempawah regency until theplant aged 8
weeks. The research work employed split plot design using a randomized block design.
The treatment consisted of main factor with seedling without fungi (A1) and
seedling with fungi (A2) and additional factor with plant without mulching (B1)
and plant with mulching(B2). The research findings showed that in the age 8
weeks the mycorrhizal fungi only could fasten the growth of diameter and while
mulching had effect on height, diameter and number ofleaves. The interaction of
these two treatment gave significant impact on diameter and number of leaves.
