PENGARUH PEMBERIAN DOSIS KOMPOS Azolla microphylla TERHADAP BIBIT KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L) DI PEMBIBITAN
Abstract: This study aims to
determine the influences of extending compost dosage of Azolla microphylla for
Cocoa seedlings and determine the Azolla microphylla compost dosage which
produces growth is the best nursery cocoa seedlings compost. This research was
conducted in the experiment stationthe Faculty of Agriculture, University of
Riau, Pekanbaru startied from November 2014 through April 2015. The research
was conducted experimentally usingcompletely randomized design (CRD). The data
were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's
New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5%. Parameters observed were plant height
(cm), stem diameter (mm), number of leaves (pieces), leaf area (cm²), seeds dry
weight (g) and the ratio of crown roots (g). The results showed that
application of Azolla microphylla compost on cocoa seedlings significantly
affected stem diameter and has no significant effect against high seedling,
number of leaves, leaf area,seed dry weight and root crown ratio, however there
was an increasing trend in growth of high seedling, number of leaves, leaf
area, the weight of dry seed and root crown ratio without the application of
Azolla. microphylla compost.
