Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas penggunaan arang sekam bakar dan pupuk NPK terhadap pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan berbagai perlakuan pemberian arang sekam bakar dan pupuk NPK pada media tanam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi arang sekam dengan pupuk kandang, khususnya dengan perbandingan 1:1 memberikan kontribusi nyata terhadap peningkatan tinggi bibit kelapa sawit dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan perlakuan memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan bibit, dengan perlakuan P2 menghasilkan pertumbuhan tertinggi. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya penggunaan media tanam yang tepat untuk optimalisasi pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit, yang dapat berimplikasi praktis terhadap pengelolaan perkebunan kelapa sawit.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit sangat dipengaruhi oleh kualitas media tanam, termasuk kandungan bahan organik yang digunakan. Lamanya dekomposisi bahan organik turut menentukan ketersediaan unsur hara bagi tanaman sejak awal pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh jenis bahan organik dan lama dekomposisi terhadap pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit pada budidaya pra-pembibitan. Penelitian ini menggunakan percobaan faktorial dengan rencana acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari dua faktor dan tiga kali ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah berbagai jenis bahan organik (pupuk kandang, legum, eceng gondok). Faktor kedua adalah lama dekomposisi bahan organik yang diamati pada minggu pertama, kedua, dan ketiga. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam (ANOVA) dengan taraf nyata 5%. Apabila terdapat perbedaan nyata dilanjutkan dengan Uji Jarak Berganda Duncan (UJT) pada taraf nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian ini secara umum menunjukkan bahwa bahan organik legum memberikan hasil yang lebih stabil dan cenderung lebih baik dibandingkan pupuk kandang dan eceng gondok untuk semua parameter pertumbuhan bibit kelapa sawit pada tahap pra-pembibitan. Secara statistik, hasilnya tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antar perlakuan. Namun secara numerik, bahan organik legum lebih konsisten dalam mendukung pertumbuhan vegetatif bibit kelapa sawit. Penelitian ini tidak hanya memberikan kontribusi pada aspek teknis budidaya tetapi juga meningkatkan pemahaman tentang manfaat biomassa legum sebagai sumber nutrisi yang efektif dan efisien dalam mendukung pertumbuhan awal bibit kelapa sawit.

Abstract

Environmental factors greatly influence oil palm productivity, especially rainfall, which impacts the plant's physiological state. This study aims to analyze the relationship between rainfall and oil palm production. This study used a two-stage survey method. Time series data from 2016-2021 were used to evaluate the relationship between monthly rainfall and three production parameters (productivity, number of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), and average bunch weight (ABW). Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to identify significant contributions of rainfall to yield variables by considering the time lag. The results showed that rainfall that occurred 24-36 months previously had a significant effect on productivity and the number of FFB with R2 values of 53.93% and 54.83%, and rainfall 37-38 months previously contributed to BJR with an R2 value of 40.33%. Rainfall has historically played an important role in determining oil palm yields. Plantation management based on long-term climatological data can be a new approach to optimizing sustainable oil palm production.

Abstract

Fuel sources derived from oil palm plants are abundant but have not been optimally utilized by the community. This study aims to show the performance efficiency of cheap fuel fruitless (Brondolan) using people's stoves as fuel substitutes for kerosene, coal, and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). This study uses a quantitative observation method. The types of fuel and stove materials used include (1) conventional kerosene-fired stoves, (2) conventional LPG-fired stoves, (3) gasified biomass stoves fueled with palm fruit, (a) large stove size (Prime Brand), and (b) small stove size (People's Stove Brand). The research procedure is measured by heating 5 liters of water from room temperature to boiling (1000C). The results show that fruitless is more efficient than gasoline, coal, and LPG is more efficient. Based on trials, heat 5 liters of water to a boil at Rp. 200, Gasoline Rp. 1,650, and LPG Rp. 381. The government's role is to provide socialization and policies in applying alternative materials with lozenges to reduce the use of gasoline and LPG. Unrefined fuel can be an alternative material for household scale stoves.

Abstract

Hatch and carry is a breeding and distribution system for the primary pollinator of the oil palm, Elaeidobius kamerunicus. Information on the optimal distance for the Hatch and Carry application on pollination success and bunch productivity is still limited. This study aims to determine the effective distance of Hatch and Carry on fruit set and bunch weight in oil palm. The study used a quantitative method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), including Hatch and Carry distance treatments at radii of 10 m, 100 m, 200 m, 300 m, and 400 m, as well as assisted pollination techniques as a comparison. Data on fruit set and bunch weight were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the 95% confidence level, followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the highest fruit set was observed at 10–200 m and was not significantly different, but decreased significantly at 300 m and 400 m. The same pattern also occurred for bunch weight, with the highest value at 100 m. The assisted pollination technique produces fruit set equivalent to the effective Hatch and Carry distance of 10–200 m. This study concluded that the effective distribution range of E. kamerunicus is within a radius of 200–300 m; thus, Hatch and Carry technology has the potential to be an efficient alternative for increasing oil palm productivity.
