Application of various concentration of liquid organic fertilizer on vegetative growth of cocoa

Abstract

Abstract Availability of sufficient nutrients will support uniform seedling growth. One way to improve seedling growth can be done by adding plant nutrients or nutrients through fertilization. The purpose of this study was to determine the vegetative growth of cacao ( Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings after application of various concentrations of Amal Bajang liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This experiment was conducted from March to April 2022, in Pallantikang Village, Rumbia District, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The experimental method used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 5 treatments (r), namely, (r 0 ): control, r 1 : LOF 25 ml/l, r 2 : LOF 50 ml/l, r 3 : LOF 75 ml/l, and r 4 : LOF 100 ml/l. The results showed that the application of LOF Amal Bajang with different concentrations did not significantly affect the increase in height and diameter of the cacao stem, but had a significant effect on the increase in the number of cacao leaves.
