PENGARUH MULSA ORGANIK ANYAMAN DAUN SAWIT DAN INTERVAL PENYIRAMAN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT SUKUN (ARTOCARPUS COMMUNIS)
ABSTRACT: Degradation and
deforestation of forest caused reduction vast and quality of forests. One of
the solution to overcome this are reforestation and afforestation. Before
replanting in the field needed seedlings with a good level of environmental
adaptation that is by breeding improved varieties. Breadfruit is a plant that
has a strong root system that can be a deterrent intrusion barriers to erosion
and sea water. This research aims to get optimum organic mulch density and
watering interval to growth of breadfruits. This research has done in green
house at Agriculture Faculty of the University of North Sumatera (USU). The
method used to analyze the effect of organic mulch woven palm leaf and watering
interval to growth of breadfruits for 5 months. The observed parameter is
height, diameter, number of leaves, leaves width, canopy width, length of
roots, dry weight of roots and moisture
levels of leaves. Analysis data using the factorial complete random design
(RALF). This research results showed that organic mulch woven palm leaves and
watering interval significantly effect to growth of breadfruits except diameter
parameter. Interaction of both aren’t significantly effect for all parameters.
