PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN GAHARU (Aquilaria spp) DENGAN PEMBERIAN MULSA DAN JENIS NAUNGAN PADA TANAH ULTISOL
ABSTRACT: Agarwood grows well
if they are planted using appropriate technique. The research work aimed at
finding information on the growth of Agarwood (Aquilaria spp) by giving
mulching and shades on ultisol soil. This research work employed split plot
design using a randomized blockdesign consisting of types of shade (N) as main
plot, mulching (M) as additional plot and thetreatment was done for three
times. The parameter being observed was height, diameter, number of leaves, and
life expectancy of Agarwood. Shade factor consisted of three types; namely open
shade (N1), paranet 60% (N2) and natural shade (N3). Mulching consisted of two types;
without mulching (M0) and mulching (M1). The research findings showed that
mulching(M1) had a significant effect on height, diameter, and leaves of
Agarwood (Aquilaria spp). In addition, paranet 60% (N2) gave a very significant
effect on life expectancy and had significant effect on diameter and leaves of
Agarwood. Natural shade (N3) treatment impacted significantlyon life expectancy
of Agarwood while open shade treatment also had a significant impact onleaves
of Agarwood. Paranet 60% and mulching (N2M1) treatment suggested a good growth
on Agarwood.
