Intno&rction: Accordiry to Leopold ( i 963) and Suprijadi ( 1985), urine of cow
contain auxin'a, auni*b and Indole Acetic Acid- As an herbivore corv eats plant
tissueswhidr conain arxin. Audn is undigestable andwill be excrered in urine.
Research and Planatiori DepartrnentJember has proved quick dipping (1G15
sccond) ofcotreagEEgcuuings in urin e of cow atsVoand I 07o concenFations

were able to st'imulate rooting. The eflect was equal ro 3000 ppm and 4000 ppm
IBA (Supr!jad:, 1 985). Grairani ( 1 987) dippe d Cosurs qpici ozus cuuings in urine
of cowatliVo concentration for 15 secondswasable torootg6To ofthe cuttings.
The research was conducted to find out the effectof cow urine on the roodng

oflemon

tea cuttingr

Materials and Method: The cuuings materials were collected from kmon tea
trees belong to groweratTalang Kelapa and fresh cow urine was obtained from
CVlembuJaya Rand in $rmbawa- Cow urine was left over nightbefore used.
The curings were tr€ated with 0.07o (control), 25Vo,5.0Vo,75%, 10,AVo and
1 2.5 7o cow urin e as a quick dip ( I 5 secon ds). Cunings dip in 4000 ppm IBA were
employed as a treahentcomparison. Then the cuaingpwere planted in nsriie.
Themediawereamixure ofsoil sand: cowmanure 1:1 :1 (v/v). The experimenaj
design was aRandomizcd C.omplete BlockDesign with 4 replicarions of I 0 plan a
per replication. Daa were satisticalty analyzed using analysis oI variance.
Difference among Feahoent means was tested using orthogonal contrast and
orthogonal polynomial The cunings were harvested and root length were

measured and root per cuuing were counted after 8 weeks in the media.
