Abstract

Limbah industri kelapa sawit yang memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan pupuk organik dan tersedia cukup banyak di Provinsi Riau adalah abu boiler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan dosis abu boiler kelapa sawit terhadap tanaman selada. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) non faktorial terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan yaitu: P0 (Kontrol), P1 (176 g abu boiler kelapa sawit), P2 (352 g abu boiler kelapa sawit), dan P3 (528 g abu boiler kelapa sawit). Parameter yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman (cm), jumlah daun (helai), dan lebar daun (cm). Berdasarkan hasil ANOVA pada taraf 5%, pemberian abu boiler kelapa sawit pada memberikan pengaruh terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan lebar daun tanaman selada. Dosis abu boiler kelapa sawit  terbaik pada tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan lebar daun  tanaman selada adalah 352 g/polybag. The industrial palm oil waste with potential to be used as organic fertilizer and abundantly available in Riau Province is boiler ash. This study aims to determine the optimal dosage of palm oil boiler ash for lettuce plants. The research employed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, namely: P0 (Control), P1 (176 g of palm oil boiler ash), P2 (352 g of palm oil boiler ash), and P3 (528 g of palm oil boiler ash). Observed parameters included plant height (cm), number of leaves (pieces), and leaf width (cm). Based on the results of ANOVA at a 5% significance level, the application of palm oil boiler ash significantly influenced the height, number of leaves, and leaf width of lettuce plants. The optimal dosage of palm oil boiler ash for plant height, number of leaves, and leaf width was 352 g/polybag.
