PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN EUCALYPTUS PELLITA F. MUELL DI LAPANGAN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN BIBIT HASIL PERBANYAKAN DENGAN METODE KULTUR JARINGAN, STEK PUCUK, DAN BIJI
Abstrak: Eucalyptus pellita F
Muell is a fast-growing tree that has great benefits. The uses of wood are the raw material for pulp and paper industry, building
construction, and also for charcoal. Propagation can be done by using seeds,
cuttings and tissue culture. Propagation
from seed has a weakness for very large offspring genotype variation while the
vegetative propagation will produce offspring same with the parent. The
Advantages of propagation by tissue culture is able to produce seedling in large quantities in a
short time.The research objective was to determine the growth of Eucalyptus
pellita F Muell seedling in the
field that propagated using three
propagation methods, tissue
culture, cutting, and seed.The study was conducted in PT Surya
Hutani Jaya, Sebulu, Kutai, East Kalimantan.
Seedlings from tissue culture was planted on 13.7 ha, seedling from cutting was planted on 14.3 ha,
and seedlings from the seeds was
planted on 14.4 ha. Each seedling was planted with spacing 3 m x 2.5 m.
All plants had similar treatment in fertilizing, weeding, pest and disease control. Samples are taken
one per cent of the total population of the plant.The results showed that
the plants from tissue culture seedlings showed the best
results on plant height, diameter and volume.
