PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.) YANG DITANAM PADA BEBERAPA MEDIUM TUMBUH DENGAN PEMBERIAN PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR
Abstract: This research aimed
to produce good Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings, which is planted on on
some grows medium by giving organic liquid fertilizer. This research was
conducted at Agriculture Faculty of Riau University, Pekanbaru, on 10 m above
of the sea. Started from April to September 2014. This research used Factorial Completely
Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and three replictions. Factror I:
grows medium with 3 levels, M1: Inceptisol soil, M2: Red Yellow Podzolik soil
and M3: Peat soil. Factor II: concentration of organic liquid fertilizer with 3
levels, O1: 0%, O2: 0,78% and O3: 1,56%. Parameters observed were the seedlings
height, stem diameter, number of leaves and leave area. The result showed that the use of some grows medium and
the organic fertilizer affect the growth of Cacao seedlings. But interaction
between both of treatment not affect the
growth of Cacao seedlings. The combination of organic liquid fertilizer
concentration 1,56% with Inceptisol soil tended to increase seedlings height
and stem diameter, while the combination of organik liquid fertilizer
concentration 1,56% with Peat soil tended to increase number of leaves and
leave area.
