PENGARUH PEMBERIAN KOMPOS ISI RUMEN SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.)
Abstract: The purpose of this
research was to know the effect of giving compost contains cow rumen and get a
dose of composted cow rumen content on seedling growth of the cocoa
plant(Theobroma cacao L.). This research had been conducted on the experimental
field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau from April to August
2015. This research was conducted in the form of non-factorial experiment
arranged in the form of completely randomized design (CRD), which consists of 5
treatment with each dose of composted cow rumen contents that (K0 ): without
composted cow rumen contents, (K1): 25 g/plant (K2): 50 g/plant, (K3): 75
g/plant and (K4): 100 g/plant. Each unit treatment was repeated 4 times to
obtain 20 units of the experiment and the experimental unit comprises three
plants, two of which are used as plant samples. Parameters measured were
seedling height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, root volume, the
ratio of crown roots and dry weight. Results of the analysis will be followed
by a test of Duncan New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5%. Giving Composting
cow rumen content with a dose of 50 g/plant, 75 g/plant and 100 g/plant gave
outgrowth good cocoa crop seeds in the parameter leaf area, root volume, the
ratio of crown roots and dry weight of seedlings.
