PENGARUH PEMBERIAN BERBAGAI KONSENTRASI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN KELAPA SAWIT (ELAEIS GUINEENSIS JACQ.).
This study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of Nasa Liquid Organic Fertilizer for the growth of oil palm seedlings during the pre-nursery stage. The research was conducted from September 2024 to January 2025 at Shade House of the Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The experimental design used was a Randomized Block Design (RBD), consisting of six treatment levels of POC NASA concentration, each with four replications, totaling 24 experimental units, each unit contained three plants, resulting in a total of 72 oil palm seedlings Fertilizer application was carried out 4 (four) weeks after planting, with 5 (five) different liquid organic fertilizer concentrations : P0 = control (10 g NPK fertilizer per plant), P1 = 0.4%, P2 = 0.5%, P3 = 0.6%, P4 = 0.7%, and P5 = 0.8%.The observed parameters included plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf thickness, total leaf greenness, petiole length, root length, fresh root weight, fresh shoot weight, dry root weight, dry shoot weight, shoot-to-root ratio, and soil pH. The results showed that the application of Nasa liquid organic fertilizer at the P1 treatment (0.4% or 4 ml/L of water) enhanced the growth of oil palm seedlings in the early nursery stage.
