The effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer Bamboo Shoots for Growth of Jackfruit Seedlings (Artocarpus heterophyllus lamk)

Abstract

This study aims to influence the administration of applying applying liquid organic fertilizer Bamboo Shoots on the success of grafting of Jackfruit Seedlings with a certain amount of concentration. This research used Randomized Block Design factorial with 5 treatments and 5 replications to obtain 25 experimental units with the order of treatment, namely N0 = No, Bamboo Shoot POC, N1 = Giving POC Bamboo Shoots 20 ml/seed, N2 =Providing POC Bamboo Shoots 30 ml/seed, N3 = Giving Bamboo Shoot POC 40 ml/seedling, and N4 = Giving Bamboo Shoot POC Bamboo 50ml/seed. The parameters observed were: plant height, number of leaves and percentage of live plants. Plant height is measured by measuring from the basestems to the youngest shoots or leaves of growing plants using a ruler. The number of leaves is calculated by counting all the leaves which has developed and opened perfectly on the jackfruit plant which grow. Percentage of live plants was carried out by counting the number of plants survival to the total number of plants planted. Observations were made at the age of 15, 30 and 45 days after plant. The research results show that the application of liquid organic fertilizer bamboo the best treatment obtained in N2 treatment (POC bamboo shoots 30 ml/seed) aged 15 to 45 days after plant.
