Respons Pertumbuhan Setek Batang Buah Naga Merah (Hylocereus costaricensis) Terhadap Pemberian Air Kelapa

Abstract

This studywas conducted to determine the effect of different waysof applicationand concentration of coconut water in affecting the growth of dragon fruit cuttings. Theresearchwas conducted in November to January 2016. Theresearchused a randomized block design (RBD) arranged as factorial (2x3) with three replications. The first factor is the way of application of coconut water (A) with a1: soaking and a2: spraying and the second factor is the concentration of coconut water (B) with b0: 0%, b1: 50%, and b2: 100%. Grouping based on the weight of stem cuttingsofred dragon fruit. Homogeneity range between treatments were tested using theBarlet’s testand aditifitas data is tested by Tukey's test. If these assumptions are met, further tested bythe analysis of variance and differences in middle grades will be tested with Least Significant Difference (LSD) at 5% level. The results showed that applicationof coconut water with a concentration of 50% can increase the weight of budsand amountof primary root. Treatment of applicationand interaction between the way and the concentration does not give any real effect on all variables observation.
