PEMANFAATAN CENDAWAN MIKORIZA ARBUSKULAR (CMA) UNTUK PERTUMBUHAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis gueneensis jacq.) DI PEMBIBITAN AWAL
Abstract: Palm oil (Elaeis
guineensis Jacq) is a commodity that produces vegetable oils are important in
beside coconut, nuts and corn. Palm oil plantations in Riau province ranks
first in comparison to other plantations such as palm, rubber and cocoa.
According to the Stastik Central Bureau in 2011 vast palm oil plantations of
Riau reached 2,256,538 ha. Most of the plant is less productive because of age
and need rejuvenation. Nurseries is one aspect of agronomy that was
instrumental in the early stages of crop management to be cultivated. Planting
medium used in palm oil nurseries is topsoil with a thickness of 10-20 cm from
the ground. Alternative medium that can be used is marginal soils such as sand.
Sand can be used for the planting medium with the addition of organic
fertilizer and Arbuskular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). Mycorrhizae is a form of
mutualitik symbiotic relationship between fungi with plant roots, fungi or
plants both equally benefit from this association. The research with experiment
by methods completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments. Each
treatment was repeated 6 times to obtain 18 experimental units, each unit
comprising 2 plant experiments. There treatment is giving of AMF : C0 = Giving
AMF with a dose of 0 g/polybag, C1 = Giving AMF with a dose of 10 g/polybag, C2
= Giving AMF with a dose of 20 g/polybag. The results of this study showed that
giving of Arbuskular Mycorrhizae Fungi in planting medium is not a real effect
on seedling height, leaf length, number of leaves, fresh weight, ratio of dry
weight of roots and canopy of palm seedlings. The best treatment was obtained
by administration of AMF 10 g/polybags in the nursery medium.
