ABSTRAK
EKA SETYA WULANDARI : Pertumbuhan Bibit Kelapa Sawit Dengan Pupuk
Hayati Pada Perbedaan Volume Media Tanam. Dibimbing oleh
CHAIRANI HANUM dan JONIS GINTING .
Perluasan perkebunan kelapa sawit yang pesat berbanding lurus dengan
kuantitas kebutuhan bibit yang baik namun tetap ramah lingkungan. Pertumbuhan
awal bibit memegang peranan penting dalam menunjang intensifikasi dan
produktivitas. Tantangan dan masalah yang dihadapi para pelaku sawit baik
smallholder dan perusahaan adalah penyakit dan iklim. Penggunaan pupuk hayati
diharapkan mampu memperbaiki dan meningkatkan kesuburan tanah dan
tanaman, demi terciptanya standar budidaya yang diusung oleh RSPO
(Roundtable on Suistainable Palm Oil). Volume media tanam yang digunakan
juga menjadi faktor keberhasilan pindah tanam bibit hingga siap ditanam
ke lapangan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di lahan percobaan Fakultas Pertanian
Universitas Sumatera Utara dengan ketinggian tempat ± 32 meter dpl dari
bulan Mei sampai September 2016, menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok
dengan 2 Faktor perlakuan. Faktor pertama adalah pupuk hayati dengan
3 jenis yaitu tanpa pupuk hayati (H0); FMA + Azotobacter crooccum (H1);
FMA + Pseudomonas flourescens (H2) dan faktor kedua yaitu perbedaan volume

media tanam dengan 4 taraf yaitu 0.5 kg/polibek (V1); 1 kg/polibek (V2);
1.5 kg/polibek (V3); 2 kg/polibek (V4). Parameter yang diamati adalah tinggi
bibit, lilit batang, jumlah daun, total luas daun, bobot basah akar, bobot basah
tajuk, bobot kering akar, bobot kering tajuk, dan derajat infeksi akar.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan pupuk hayati berpengaruh
nyata terhadap semua parameter tinggi bibit, lilit batang, jumlah daun,
total luas daun, bobot basah akar, bobot basah tajuk, bobot kering akar, bobot
kering tajuk, dan derajat infeksi akar. Interaksi antara perlakuan pupuk hayati
dengan perbedaan volume media tanam berpengaruh nyata terhadap lilit batang
14-18 MST, total luas daun, bobot kering akar, dan derajat infeksi akar.
Kata Kunci : pupuk hayati, volume media tanam, kelapa sawit

ABSTRACT
EKA SETYA WULANDARI: The Growth of Oil Palm Seedlings of Biofertizer on the
Difference of Planting Media Volume . Supervised by CHAIRANI HANUM and
JONIS GINTING.

The expansion of oil palm plantation was equal with the quantity of good
seedling need yet it is enviromentally friendly.The early growth held vital role in
encouraging intensification and productivity. The challenge and problem that
faced by oil palm offender either smallholders and company were disease and
climate. The use of biofertilizer is expected to repairing and increase soil and
plant fertility in order to create the standart cultivation which carried by RSPO
(Roundtable on Suistanable Palm Oil). The volume of planting media which was
used also became the factor of success seedling planting switch until it was ready
to be planted on the field. This research was conducted in Agriculture Faculty,
Sumatera Utara University with altitude ± 32 meters above sea surface began
from Mei to September 2016. This research used factorial randomized block
design with two factors. The first factor was biofertilizer is without biofertiliizer
(H0);FMA + Azotobacter crooccum (H1); FMA + Pseudomonas flourescens (H2)
and the second factor was difference of planting media volume with four
degree is 0.5 kg/polybag (V1); 1 kg/polybag (V2);1.5 kg/polybag (V3);
2 kg/polybag (V4). Parameter observed was seddling’s height; steem’s girth;
number of leaf; total leaf area; wet root weight; wet shoot weight; dry root
weight; dry shoot weight and degree root infection.
The result of this research showed that biofertilizer were significantly
effect to seedling’s height, steem’s girth, number of leaf, total leaf area, wet root

weight, wet shoot weight, dry root weight, dry shoot weight and degree root
infection. Interaction of biofertilizer and difference of planting media volume
significantly effect to steem’s girth 14-18 WAP, total leaf area, dry root weight
and degree root infection.
Key words : Biofertilizer, Planting Media Volume, Palm Oil
