ABSTRAKUpaya meningkatkan produktivitas dan mendukung upaya budidaya menetap diperlukan suatu pola tanam dengan berbagai jenis tanaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pola tanam nilam yang tepat dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Cicurug sejak Mei sampai November 2011. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan petak terbagi dengan enam perlakuan dan enam ulangan. Petak utama adalah dua tingkat intensitas cahaya (naungan), yaitu tanpa naungan (intensitas cahaya 100%) dan di bawah tegakan pohon pala (intesitas cahaya sekitar 80% (Rp. 15,290,000,. Patchouli planted between nutmegs given significant income Rp. 7,159,900, hectare from patchouli.

Fulvic acid is an extraction product of humus which is very potential for supplement fertilizer and able to reduce either inorganic or organic fertilizer application. The information about fulvic acid application as supplement fertilizer on ginger in Indonesia is still limited. The objective of the study was lo find oul the efect of fulvic acid as supplement fertilizer on the growth, productivity and quality of young ginger. A green house trial was conducted from July lo November 1996. Five levels of fulvic acid concentration, 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% were sprayed every week from 4 to 1 5 weeks ater planting (WAP). A randomized block design was used with five replicates. The results indicated that the growth of plant height and number of tiller of ginger increased rapidly al 8 WAP, then il became slowly from 12 lo 1 5 WAP Application 10% of fulvic acid was able to increase vegetative parts 99.6%, fresh and dry weight of rhizome 89 and 125% respectively, and starch content of rhizome 22.6%. To find oul of the optimal effect of fulvic acid on productivity and quality of ginger, a further research using higher level and application frequency of fulvic acid as an extract product from several humus types in Indonesia is needed.
