PENGARUH KONSENTRASI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR DAUN KELOR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SEMAI GLODOKAN (Polyalthia longifolia Sonn.)

Abstract

Glodokan called Ashok tree can reach up to 25 feet tall and form columnar shapes. The leaves are glossy green, long, with wavy leaf edges. The problem of glodokan seedling growth which produces seedlings that are not superior in terms of quality. This might be caused by the growing media that less nutrients to supply the growth of glodokan seedlings. To overcome this problem, the application of liquid organic fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is able to improve the seedling growth by increasing the total leaf area and the amount of chlorophyll, which in this case is directly related to the photosynthesis process and increased production through accumulation. The purpose of this study was to determine the growth of Glodokan (Polyathia longifolia) seedlings with the addition of liquid organic fertilizer on Moringa (Moringa oleifera L) leaf. The results showed that the effect of the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer of Moringa leaves had a significant effect on height increase, stem diameter,and increase in number of leaves. The best results were in treatment P4 (20% POC daun kelor/l larutan) with an average height increase of 5.11 cm, an average stem diameter growth of 1.49 mm, the average increase in leave numbers were 3.1 sheets.Keywords: Glodokan, seedlings, liquid organic fertilizer, Moringa leaf, Polyalthia longifolia soon
