APLIKASI TRICHOKOMPOS TANDAN KOSONG KELAPA SAWIT TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT TANAMAN KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.)
Abstract: The research aims to
study the effect and to obtain the best dose of Trichokompos TKKS on the growth
of cocoa seeds (Theobroma cacao L.). Research has been conducted at the
Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Riau University. This study
was conducted from June 2016 to September 2016. This research was experimental
research by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD), which consisted of 5 TKKS
trichokompos treatments, consisted of: 0 g/5 kg soil (T0), 25 g/5 kg soil (T1),
50 g/5 kg soil (T2), 75 g/5 kg soil
(T3) and 100 g/5 kg soil (T4). Each treatment was repeated 4 times , in order
to obtain 20 unit experiments which consist of 3 seeds, in which 2 seeds as
sample plants and it obtained 60 plant seeds. The observed parameters were a
height plant, stem diameter, number of leaves, root shoots ratio and dry
weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and the mean of each
treatment was tested with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at 5 % level. The
result of this research showed that the giving of trichokompos TKKS gave
significant result towards all of observation parameters. Based on the result,
the giving of trichokompos TKSS with dose 75 g/5 kg soil was better to improve
the growth of cacao seeds.
