PENGARUH BERBAGAI DOSIS PUPUK ORGANIK PADAT BERBAHAN DASAR KOTORAN KAMBING TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SEMAI NYATOH (Palaquium Obtusilofium.)

Nyatoh (Palaquium obtusilofium.) is a plant that is spread throughout Indonesia. This plant has a fairly high ecological and economic value. Therefore, Nyatoh has the potential to be developed. The study was conducted for 3 months, from January to April 2021, which was located in the BPDAS-HL Palu-Poso Permanent Nursery area, Tadulako University, Palu. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD), which consisted of 4 doses of solid organic fertilizer made from goat manure with 10 replications, namely P0 = No dose of organic fertilizer (control), P1 = soil 1 kg + 150 gr solid organic fertilizer, P2 = 1 kg soil + 200 g solid organic fertilizer, P3 = soil + 250 g solid organic fertilizer. Parameters observed were increase in height, diameter, and number of leaves. Measurement data using analysis of variance (F test) with the Least Significant Difference (BNT) test at 5% level. The results showed that the effect of the dose of solid organic fertilizer made from goat manure had a very significant effect on the increase in height, diameter, and number of leaves of nyatoh seedlings. The best growth of nyatoh seedlings was obtained in the P3 treatment (1 kg topsoil + 250 grams solid fertilizer), on all growth parameters, namely 0,71 cm height), diameter (0,42 mm) and leaves (2.6 strands).
