KEVIN EFRIANDHANI: Respons Pertumbuhan Bibit Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis
guineensis Jacq.) Pada Berbagai Komposisi Media Tanam dan Pemberian
Limbah Cair Pabrik Kelapa Sawit di Main Nursery, dibimbing oleh T.
IRMANSYAH dan CHAIRANI HANUM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mempelajari respons pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit pada berbagai komposisi
media tanam dan pemberian beberapa dosis LCPKS di main nursery. Penelitian
ini dilakukan di lahan percobaan Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Sumatera Utara,
Medan (32 m dpl) pada bulan Januari sampai Mei 2017. Metode percobaan yang
digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) faktorial dengan 2 faktor
dan 3 ulangan, faktor pertama adalah komposisi media tanam (M0 : Top Soil , M1
: Top soil + TKKS ( 1 : 1 ), M2 : Top soil + TKKS ( 1 : 1 ), M3 : Top soil +
Serabut (Serat) ( 1 : 1 ), M4 : Top soil + TKKS +Sludge + Serabut (Serat) ( 1 : 1 :
1 : 1 ) dan faktor kedua adalah limbah cair pabrik kelapa sawit (0, 1,5, 3 l/bibit).
Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan sidik ragam dan dilanjutkan
dengan uji jarak berganda Duncan. Parameter yang diamati adalah tinggi bibit,
jumlah daun, diameter batang, Volume akar, total luas daun, bobot segar tajuk,
bobot segar akar, bobot kering tajuk dan bobot kering akar. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan pemberian LCPKS hingga dosis L2 berpengaruh
nyata meningkatkan parameter yaitu diameter batang, bobot basah tajuk dan bobot
kering tajuk.. Perlakuan komposisi media tanam berpengaruh nyata terhadap

parameter diameter batang, volume akar, berat basah akar, berat basah tajuk dan
berat kering tajuk. Interaksi antara kedua perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata
terhadap semua parameter.
Kata Kunci : Limbah cair pabrik kelapa sawit, Komposisi Media Tanam, Kelapa
Sawit.

Abstract
KEVIN EFRIANDHANI: Growth Respons of Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis jacq.)
Seedling to Composition Planting Media and Application of Palm Oil Mill
Effluent and in Main Nursery, Supervised by T. IRMANSYAH AND CHAIRANI
HANUM. The objectives of the research were to study Growth Respons of Oil
palm (Elaeis guineensis jacq.)Seedling to Composition Planting Media and
Application of Oil palm Mill Effluent and in Main Nursery. The research was held
at experimental field of Agricultural Faculty USU (± 32 m asl) in January to May
2017 using a factorial randomized block design with two factors and three

replications. The first factor were Composition Planting Media (top soil, top soil
+ Empty Oil palm Fruit Bunches (EPOFB) (1:1), top soil + sludge (1:1) topsoil +
fiber (1:1), and top soil + Empty Oil palm Fruit Bunches (EPOFB) + sludge +
Fiber (1:1:1:1) and the second factor were POME (0; 1,5; 3,0; 4,5 l/seedling).
Data were analyzed with ANOVA and continued with Duncan multiple range test.
The Parameters observed were plant height, leaves number, stem diameter, root
volume, total leaf area, fresh and dry root and upper part weight.The results
obtain were the effect of POME until dose L2 (3,0 l/seedling) were significantly
increase for parameters. Stem diameter, fresh crown weight and dry crown
weight. The effect of Composite Planting Media significant for parameters. Stem
diameter, root volume, fresh root weigth, fresh crown weight and dry ceown
weigth. The interaction of composite planting media and POME not significant
for all parameters.
Keyword: palm oil mill effluent ,composite palm waste height, oil palm seedling.
