PENGARUH KONSENTRASI AIR KELAPA PADA PEMBIBITAN TANAMAN BUAH NAGA (Hylocereus costaricencis)
ABCTRACT: The objectives of
this research to determine the effect of coconut water concentration on dragon
fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) nursery. This research was conducted at dragon
fruit plantation of dragon fruit Tameran, Bengkalis, in August to December
2012. This experiment used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consisting
of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were Coconut Water
Concentration (P) as followed: P1: 0% (0 ml coconut water in 100 ml of water),
P2: 25 % (25 ml coconut water in 75 ml of water), P3: 50% (50 ml coconut water
in 50 ml of water), P4: 75% (75 ml coconut water in 50 ml of water), P5: 100%
(100 ml coconut water in 0 ml of water). Parameters observed: those appearing
shoot, shoot length, number of shoot, added root length, added number of roots,
root volume, fresh and dry weight. Data were analyzed statistically using
analysis of variance (ANOVA) and further tested using Duncan New Multiple Range
Test level 5%. The research suggested that 50% concentration coconut water was
the best for growth added root length, added number of roots, root volume,
fresh and dry weight.
