Serapan Phospat dan Pertumbuhan Bibit Kelapa Sawit pada Tanah Ultisol Akibat Cendawan Mikoriza Abuskula
Abstract: One of the
disadvantages of oil palm development is the limitedness of fertile soil. A
constraint faced by both big plantation and small holders is the high cost of
crop maintenance. Around 60% of the total crop maintenance is used for
fertilizing the crop. This study aims at finding out phosphate absorbtion and
the growth of oil palm seedling with the addition of Arbuscullar Mycorrhizal
Fungi (AMF) and different dosages of phosphate fertilizer. A factorial Complete
Randomized Design with three replications has been used. The first factor was
the addition of AMF consisting of three levels: M0=0 g AMF polybag-1, M1=5 g
AMF polybag -1, and M2 = 10 g AMF polybag -1. The second factor was the
addition of four levels of phosphate using TCP-36: P0= 0 g TCP-36 polybag-1, P
=15 g TCP-36 polybag-1, P2=30 g TCP-36 polybag-1, and P3=45 g TCP-36 polybag-1.
Results showed that the Application of 10 g AMF polybag-1 was able to increase
P-absorbtion and the growth of oil palm seeding such as fresh crown weight, dry
crown weight, fresh root weight, dry and root weight. Application of 45 g
TCP-36 polybag -1 was able to increase the growth such as plant height, dry
crown weight, fresh root weight, and dry root weight.
