PENGARUH BERBAGAI DOSIS PUPUK KANDANG SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SEMAI KEMIRI (Aleurites Moluccana (L.) Wild) PADA MEDIA TANAM ULTISOL.

This research was conducted for three months from March to June 2022 at the BPDASHL Palu – Poso Permanent Nursery, Tadulako University, Palu, Central Sulawesi. This research used a Completely Randomized Design method, with 5 levels of cow manure treatment, namely: K0 = Soil without cow manure, K1 = Soil + 50 gr cow manure, K2 = Soil + 100 gr cow manure, K3 = Soil + 150 gr cow manure, K4 = Soil + 200 gr cow manure.The results of the analysis of variance showed that the application of cow manure had a significant effect on the candlenut (Aleurites moluccana (L) Willd.) seedlings, so the BNJ test was continued at the 5% level. The treatment that gave the best response to the growth of the candlenut seedlings was K2 = Soil + 100 gr of fertilizer cowshed, the average yield of candlenut seedling height gain in treatment K2 = 7.7 was not significantly different from K1 = 7.2 and K4 = 7.4 but significantly different in treatment K3 = 6.9 and K0 = 6.6. The results of the average diameter of candlenut seedlings in treatment K2 = 0.9 were not significantly different but significantly different in treatments K1 = 0.8, K4 = 0.74, K3 = 0.71 and K0 = 0.67. The results of the average number of candlenut seedling leaves in treatment K2 = 4.9 were not significantly different from K1 = 4.7, K4 = 4.4, and K3 = 4.2 but significantly different in treatment K0 = 3.9. and the results the average robustness of candlenut seedling stems in treatment K2 = 10.27 was not significantly different from K1 = 9.75, K4 = 9.40, and K3 = 9.10 but significantly different in treatment K0 = 8.82.
