APLIKASI LIMBAH CAIR PABRIK KELAPA SAWIT DAN ZEOLIT TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
Abstract: Plant oil palm
(Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of commodity
plantation in Riau as a source of vegetable oil. In order to increase
the production of the necessary good breeding. Seedling growth is strongly
influenced by the availability of nutrients, so it takes fertilization.
Fertilizers used are Palm Oil Mill Effluent (LCPKS). LCPKS contains nutrients
that can be absorbed by plants. LCPKS has the disadvantage that volatile, so it
need a way to overcome that problem. One solution that is used is the granting
of Zeolite. Zeolite is able to bind nutrients that are available in a long time
for plants. This research aims to get the best treatment on the growth of oil
palm seedlings. Research conducted at the experimental field of the Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Riau. This research has been going on for three
months starting from February to April 2015. The research was conducted using a
completely randomized design (CRD) factorial. The first factor is the Palm Oil
Mill Effluent with 3 levels consisting of 0 ml, 195 ml and 390 ml. The second
factor is a Zeolite with 3 levels consisting of 0 g, 50 g and 100 g. The combination
is repeated 4 times so that there are 36 units of trial and each experimental
unit consisted of two plants, so the total is 72 plants. Parameters measured
were seedling high accretion (cm), number of leaves (pieces), stem diameter
(cm), root volume (ml), the ratio of crown roots, and seedling dry weight (g).
Statistical analysis using ANOVA followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test at
5%. The results showed that there was no interaction LCPKS and Zeolite on all
parameters of observation. Combination of LCPKS 390 ml and 50 g zeolites tend
to produce the best growth on the parameters in the number of leaves, stem
diameter and root volume.
