PENGARUH BEBERAPA JENIS MULSA ORGANIK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.) VARIETAS TRINITARIO
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this
research to deternine the effect of the use of some types organic mulch on the
growth seedings of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) varieties of Trinitarioand know
the best mulching. This study was conducted in Experimental Field ofFaculty of
Agriculture, University of Riau which lasts from march to June 2016. Thestudy
was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4treatments,
each treatment was repeated 5 times to 20 experimental units per findingunit
compristing three plants so grand total of 60 plants cocoa. The treatments werewithout
organic mulch (M0), organic mulch paddy straw 150 g/ plant (M1),organic mulch
sawdust 150 g/ plant (M2) and organic mulch paddy straw 75 g/ plant+sawdust 75
g/ plant parameters measured were plant height, number of leaves, leafarea,
stem diameter. The data were statistically analyzed using of variance (ANOVA).
Effect of organic mulch of paddy straw with a dose of 150 g/ plant significantly
different from provision of organic mulch of saw dust at a dose of 150 g/plant
organic paddy straw mulching 75 g/ plant sawdust 75 g/ plant and withoutoffering
of organic mulch. Biological mulching paddy straw with a dose of 150 g/ plant
will give the best effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and stem
diameter.
