PENGARUH PEMBERIAN BEBERAPA KONSENTRASI URIN SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.)
Abstract: The objective of the
research was todetermine the effect of cow urineand getthe best concentration
of cow urineon the growth of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.). This study used
Completely Randomized Design(CRD) consisting of concentrations cow urine
treatment with 5 replications, in order to obtain 30 units of experiments in
which each experimental unit contained three plant sand two plants used
assampel.Eachtreatmentis: (U0) with out giving cow urine, (U1): giving of cow
urine 30cc/literof water, (U2):giving ofcowurine35cc/literof water, (U3):
giving ofcowurine40cc/literof water, (U4): giving of cowu rine 45cc/literof
waterand(U5): giving ofcowurine50cc/literof water. Parameter observed were
plant height (cm), number of leaves (strands), stem diameter (cm) , leaf area
(cm2) and volume of plant roots (cm3).
The results showedthat giving ofcow urinehas significant effect onplant
height, numberof leaves, stem diameter, leaf areaandvolume of plant roots.
Givingcow urineat a concentration of 35cc/literof water is the best
concentration for all parameters tested. Seeing the effect ofcow urineon the
research that has been done, the concentration of 35cc/literof wateris the best
concentration on the growth ofcocoa age 4months.
