THE GROWTH OF Casuarina equisetiofolia SEEDLING ON VARIOUS GROWTH MEDIA DENSITIES OF OIL PALM FRUIT FIBER
Abstract
The aim of study was to know the growth and biomass of C. equisetifolia at various growth densities of oil palm fruit fiber. The study was carried out at the research station of Agricultural Faculty, Bengkulu University. Three media growth densities were 1.125,1.00, dan 0.875 gram/mm3. Research design that been applied was randomize complete block design with four replications. The result showed that the growth media density of oil palm fruit fiber resulted in significantly affect the growth of C. equisetifolia seedlings. The media growth density with 1.00 gram/cm3 was the best media for the growth of C. equisetifolia seedlings, diameter, stem dry weight, root dry weight, and seedling quality were 23.50 ± 5.42 cm,1.919 ± 0.24 mm, 0.185 ± 0.091 gr plant-1, 0.188 ± 0.075 gr plant-1, and 0.025± 0.0094 respectively.
