RESPON APLIKASI PUPUK DAUN DAN BAKTERI Synechococcus sp TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI MINYAK NILAM (Pogostemon cablin, Benth)

Abstract

Patchouli is one of plant which produce oil from Labiate Family. The oil could be produced by destilation process of leaves and stems. The experiment of application leaves fertilizer and bacteria Synechococcus sp to growth and oil production of patchouli ( Pogostemon cablin , bent ) should be conducted in field experiment faculty of agriculture, university of Jember during season 2010 s/d 2012 . This research using design random a group with two factors that is concentration leaves fertilizer ( P1 = 1.5 g/l , P2 = 2 g/l and P3 = 2.5 g/l) and factors application bacteria Synechococcus sp ( B0 = without the application of bacteria and B1 = by the application of bacteria ) , any combination treatment repeated three times, with sample observation as five plants .The results of the study showed that combination treatment between concentration leaves fertilizer 2.5 g/l with application bacteria Synechococcus sp give the impact very significant on biomass production (390.25 g/plant), oil production (48.89 g/tanaman ) and oil content of patcholi (1.72%).
