PENGGUNAAN BAHAN PENYIMPAN AIR DAN VOLUME PEMBERIAN AIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensisJacq.)DI MAIN NURSERY
Abstract: This study aims to
determine the effect of the storage material and the volume of irrigation water
on the growth of oil palm seedlings in the Main Nursery and have been
implemented in the Technical Implementation Unit of the Faculty of Agriculture,
University of Riau from June to October 2014. The study used completely
randomized design (CRD) with two factorial factors and three replications. The
first factor is the use of water-storage material (A), which consists of 4
levels: A0: Without the use of water-retaining material A1: Hydrogel 25 g / 10
kg soil, A2: Cocopeat 500 g / 10 kg soil, A3: Trunk bananas 50 g / 10 kg of the
ground and the second factor is the volume of irrigation (V), which consists of
three levels, namely: V1: 1 liter / day / bib it V2: 1.5 liters / day / seed
V3: 2 liters / day / seed. The results showed the use of water storage material
and the volume of water giving no real effect on seedling height increase, in
the number of leaves, wrap accretion hump, dry weight of seed and seedling quality
indices but significant effect on the ratio of the root crown. Hydrogel
combination of 25 g / 10 kg soil and water provision volume 1 liters / day /
seed tends to further increase in the number of leaves, wrap accretion hump
seed, seedling dry weight, and seed quality index, while the combination of
cocopeat 500 g / 10 kg soil and volume the provision of water 2 liters / day /
seed tends to further increase the high accretion canopy ratios of seed and
seedling roots. The growth of oil palm seedlings tend to be better with the use
of water storage hydrogel material and cocopeat. The growth of oil palm
seedlings tend to be better than the entire treatment volume of water
provision.
