PEMBERIAN STIMULAN ETEFON DENGAN TEKNIK GROOVE APPLICATION PADA PRODUKSI LATEKS TANAMAN KARET (Hevea brasiliensis Muell Arg.)
Abstract: The objective of
this study was to know the effect of giving stimulant ethephon to latex
production increase and to obtain the best dose of stimulant ethephon with
groove application technique. The experiment was carried out rubber plantation
of citizenry. Bencah Kelubi village,
Tapung Subdistrict, Kampar Regency from February to March 2015.The study
arranged experimentally using Completely Randomized Block Design with five
treatments and Four block then obtained 20 experimental units. The treatments
were ethephon dose 0 cc plant-1 (without ethephon’s application), ethephon dose
0,3 cc plant-1, ethephon dose 0,6 cc plant-1, ethephon dose 0,9 cc plant-1, and
ethephon dose 1,2 cc plant-1. Parameters observed were duration of latex flow,
volume of latex and Dry Rubber Content. Data were analyzed statistically using
ANOVA and followed by LSD at level of 5%. The results showed that ethephon’s
application real effect to increase on duration of latex flow and the volume of
latex. ethephon’s application dose 0,3 cc plant-1 showed the best result for
duration of latex flow (the increase of 0 cc plant-1 were 0,321 ml/minute) and
volume of latex (the increase of control were 25,633 ml. Ethephon’s application
dose 0,3 cc plant-1 showed dry rubber content relatively better than other
treatment were 71,078%.
