PENGARUH VOLUME PEMBERIAN AIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) DI PEMBIBITAN UTAMA
ABSTRAK: Oil palm (Elaeis
guineensis Jacq.) is a plantation which plays an important role for Indonesia
as the leading commodity for export or for the commodity that is expected to
increase farmers' income. Of the various factors that cause the production of
palm oil decreased by one of them is the problem of drought during the dry
season as it is known that palm oil has a shallow root system (root fibers) so
that the easy availability of water shortages. This research was carried out
experimentally by using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4
(four) treatment with 3 (three) replications, so there are 12 experimental
units. Each unit consists of Two plants were taken 1 (one) of plant samples.
The tested combined treatment consisting of four levels: A (The Water 2400 ml
Marihat D × P), B (Giving Water 2400 Topaz ml D × P), C (Provision of Water
1200 ml Marihat D × P), and D (Provision of Water 1200 ml of D × P Topaz). The
parameters observed were plant height increment, number of leaves, corm girth
increment, dry weight, seed quality index and proline content. The data
obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by further tests DNMRT at level
5%. Results showed that treatment of water supply volume provides significant
results on the observation parameters plant height increment, whereas the
parameters observed in the number of leaves, corm girth increment, dry weight,
and seed quality index showed no significant results after further testing
DNMRT at level 5%.
