Novelgro Terra Treatment on Oil Palm Seedling
Perlakuan (Treatment)
- Kontrol (Without Terra)
- Novelgro Terra (1 ml/Liter) was drenched on the seedling pot.
Equal to 1 Liter Novelgro TERRA for 40 cubic meter of growth medium
Novelgro Terra treatment was done at plant age of 5 months after seeding
Observation Photos was taken at plants age of 8 months after seeding ( 3 months after Novelgro TERRA treatment was done).
Leaf Area Indeks (LAI) Measurement Method
LAI = Weight of leaf replica (80 g paper) x Paper Area (10 cm x 10 cm)
Paper weight ( 10 cm x 10 cm )
|
LAI (Kontrol) = 0.66 g x 100 0.83 g = 79.5 cm2
|
LAI (Terra) = 1.02 g x 100 0.83 g = 122.9 cm2
