RESPONS OF GROWTH OF OIL PALM SEED ON PEAT SOIL WICH IS GAVE CELLULOLYTIC MICROORGANISM

Abstract

Oil palm is the one of several annual crops that be a great contributor for Indonesian’s income but petroleum and gas. The brightly prospect of oil palm commodity has made Indonesian government to accelerate estate area development of oil palm. This research is aimed to know the application of cellulolytic microorganism on peat soil to enhance the growth of oil palm seed. This research was conducted in people’s land where peat soil as growth media was taken from desa Rimbo Panjang Kab. Kampar Province of Riau with several dosages of cellulolytic microorganism (CM) wich consist of: 0, 10, 20 and30 mL/polybag treatment by completely randomized design with 3 replication. Parameter that was studied include tall of seed (cm), number of leaf and stem around (cm). Analysis of tissue of plant include: plant nutrient N, P and K. Data of study was analyzed statistically used Analysis of Variance and was continued to Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) on level 5%. The results showed that application of 20 mL/polybag of cellulolytic microorganism gave the best growth to oil palm seed, is equal to standard that is recommended by the central oil palm research of Indonesia.
