Abstract:
This study aims to determine the provision and delivery of biological fertilizers
on the growth of zeolite minerals and essential content of patchouli (Pogostemon cablin
Benth.) The research was conducted at the experimental station of Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Riau during the four months from June to September 2010.
Methods of research conducted with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
with treatments in factorial which consist of two factors 3 replications 9 treatment. The
number of patchouli plant is 54. Each experimental unit consisted of two plants which are
used as samples. The treatment is: PIZO = 6 ml EM4 with no zeolite, PlZl = 6 ml EM4
12 g zeolite, EM4 PIZ2 = 6 ml 24 g zeolite, P2Z0 = 12 ml EM4 with no zeolite, P2Z1 =
12 ml EM4 12 g zeolite, P2Z2 = 12 ml EM4 24 g zeolite, P3Z0 = 18 EM4 with no
zeolite, P3Z1 = 18 EM4 12 g zeolite, P3Z2 = 18 EM4 24 g zeolite. In the observed
parameters aie. Increased Number of Leaves, Added Plant Height (cm). Added Lilit stem
(cm), secondary branch Added, Feature Root Ratio and Analysis of Essential Oils
Patchouli. Based on the research that has been done.
Based on the research that has been done, the gianting of biological fertilizer (18
ml /1 water) to give real effect on leaf number, plant height, secondary branches and the
ratio of the root crown. While the provision of Zeolite (24 g / polybag) gives a real
influence on plant height. The highest essential oil analysis results on the treatment P2Z1
(12 ml /1 water 12 g / polybag)
