Respon Pertumbuhan Stek Batang Sirih Merah (Piper crocatum Ruiz dan Pav). setelah Direndam dalam Urin Sapi
Abstract: Red bettle (Piper
crocatum Ruiz and Pav) was one kind of plants that was
used as an ornamental plant and medicine. Red
bettle plant was
propagated using stem
cutting. Propagation by
stem cuttings was
often failed because of
the absence of
root growth. Natural
plant growth regulator
was used to
address that failure. One of
plant growth regulators which may affect the growth of red bettle was cow
urine. The aimed of this study at
finding the effect of cow
urine intake on the rad betel stem
cutting and determining the effect of
cow urine on
the growth of
red bettle stem
cuttings as well
as the best
time of soaking.
The research was conducted
in the department
of Biology of
Mathematics and Natural
Sciences faculty Tanjungpura
University Pontianak from July to September 2012 using a Completely Randomized Desigen (CRD) with factorial pattern that consists of 2
treatment factors. The first factor was
the concentration of cow urine the second factor was the time of immersion. Concentration of cow
urine is used 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%.
Soaking time used
was 0 minute,
15 min, 30 min,
45 minute. Each treatment was
repeated three times so that
there would be 48 treatment units. The results showed that the treatment of 15% cow urine for 45 minute soaking was
the best combination for the growth of stem cuttings red bettle.
