Kombinasi Pengaruh Media Tanam Akar Pakis dan Arang Sekam Terhadap Perkecambahan dan Pertumbuhan Bibit Eucalyptus pellitaL. Muell.

Abstract

The research had been conducted for 3 months from February to April 2016. The research was located in the nursery of PT Surya Hutani Jaya, Puan Cepak Village, Muara Kaman Sub-district, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The aims of this research were to determine the influence of planting media on seeds germination and seedlings growth of Eucalyptus pellita L. Muell. and to determine the best composition of planting media for the growth of E. pellita seedlings. The research was designed using nonfactorial in Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 5 levels of fern root and charcoal husk as planting media, each of which was repeated 4 times. The treatments were M0 = 100% fern root, M1 = 90% fern root + 10% charcoal husk, M2 = fern root 80% + 20% charcoal husk, M3 = 70% fern root + 30% charcoal husk, and M4 = fern root 60 % + 40% charcoal husk. Results of the research showed that the treatments had no significant effect on E. pellita seed germination, seedlings height, leaf number, stem diameter, compactness of roots, and pest and disease attack. Then all the given treatments were same good for seed germination and growth of E. pellita seedlings. ABSTRAKPenelitian telah dilaksanakan selama 3 bulan mulai bulan Febuari sampai April 2016. Penelitian ini berlokasi di persemaian PT Surya Hutani Jaya, Desa Puan Cepak, Kecamatan Muara Kaman, Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh media tanam terhadap perkecambahan benih dan pertumbuhan bibit Eucalyptus pellita L. Muell. dan mengetahui komposisi media tanam yang terbaik untuk pertumbuhan bibit E. pellita. Penelitian disusun menggunakan pola nonfaktorial di dalam Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 5 taraf perlakuan media tanam akar pakis dan arang sekam yang masing-masing diulang 4 kali. Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah M0 = akar pakis 100%, M1 = akar pakis 90%+arang sekam 10%, M2 = akar pakis 80%+arang sekam 20%, M3 = akar pakis 70%+arang sekam 30%, dan M4 = akar pakis 60%+arang sekam 40%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh tidak signifikan terhadap perkecambahan benih E. pellita, tinggi bibit, jumlah daun, diameter batang, kekompakan akar serta serangan hama dan penyakit. Jadi perlakuan yang diberikan sama baiknya untuk perkecambahan benih dan pertumbuhan bibit E. pellita.
