Abstract

This research aims to determine onion crop response to multiple doses of palm oil mill wastewater (LCPKS) and coconut water plant growth regulator (PGR). This research has been conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture Experimental Station Riau University Campus Bina Widya km 12.5 Baru Simpang Village Handsome Municipal District of Pekanbaru, for three months, from April to June 2017. This study used a randomized block design (RAK) factorial. The first factor is the palm oil mill effluent consisting of 3 levels, L1 =1 l / m2 , L2 = 2 l/ M2, L3 =3 l/ M2 and the second factor was PGR coconut water which consists of 3 levels, Z1 = 25% = 50% Z2, Z3 = 75%. The parameters were observed consisting of plant height, leaf number, the number of bulbs, tubers convolution, the number of tubers are large, medium and small, fresh tuber weight, and weight in the shelf.The results of the analysis of variance analyzed further using HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) 5%. Administration of LCPKS has significant impact on the number of leaves, number of bulbs, tubers fresh weight, and weight in the shelf. Fresh tuber weight was positively correlated very strongly with weights shelf and moderately correlated wrap the tubers.Keywords: onion, LCPKS, PGR coconut water.

Abstract

This extension program focuses on exploring business opportunities for farmer-entrepreneurs in horticultural plant nurseries, utilizing cutting and grafting techniques to serve local markets. The initiative aims to enhance farmers' technical skills, market understanding, and business management capabilities in plant propagation. Through participatory training methods, including hands-on demonstrations and mentoring sessions, participants acquired practical knowledge of vegetative propagation techniques with demonstrated success rates of 80-90%. Market analysis revealed strong local demand for fruit seedlings (particularly citrus, mango, and guava) and ornamental plants, offering profit margins of 40-60%. Key challenges identified include limited access to capital, price fluctuations, and competition from imported seedlings. The program proposed solutions such as improved financing access, strengthened marketing networks, and quality certification systems. Post-intervention results showed significant improvements: 30-50% increase in production capacity, expanded market connections, and 20-40% income growth among participants. The program effectively enhanced both technical competencies and business acumen, creating sustainable livelihood opportunities in the horticultural nursery sector. Recommendations include establishing government-agriculture department partnerships, developing digital marketing platforms, and implementing continuous mentoring programs to ensure long-term business sustainability. These findings highlight the potential of vegetative propagation techniques in empowering small-scale nursery entrepreneurs while contributing to local agricultural development.
