PENGARUH BERBAGAI INTENSITAS NAUNGAN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SEMAI EBONI (Diospyros celebica Bakh.)
Abstract: Eboni (Diospyros
celebica Bakh.) is a semi-toleranttree species that need shading during growth
process. This study aimed todetermine the effect of various intensity of
shading on the growth of eboni seedlings.The researchwas conducted from May to
August 2013, at thePermanentNursery,Tadulako University, Palu,CentralSulawesi.
The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with five
treatments; shading percentage 10% (N1), shading percentage 30% (N2), shading
percentage 50% (N3), shading percentage 70% (N4) and shading percentage 90%
(N5). Observation Parameters consist of seedling height increment, stem
diameter increment, and increment of leaf number per plant, root fresh and dry
weight, and shoot fresh and dry weight. The results of the study showed that
there were no significant differences between the treatments in all the
parameters assessed. The height increment response and root fresh and dry
weight of eboni seedlings was higher in the treatment with shading 90% than
other shading intensity treatments, while the diameter and leaf number
increment response and shoot fresh and dry weight was higher in the treatment
with shading 30%.
