<![CDATA[ABSTRAK: Perkembangan buah kakao sangat bergantung pada berbagai faktor salah satunya adalah lingkungan perakaran. Lingkungan perakaran yang baik mampu menyediakan air dan nutrisi untuk proses fotosintesis dan juga secara langsung meningkatkan pertumbuhan buah, salah satu cara untuk memperbaiki kondisi perakaran tanaman kakao adalah dengan membuat rorak. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kebun kakao rakyat di Desa Lape Kecamatan Poso pesisir Kabupaten Poso, Sulawesi Tengah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan mulai bulan April sampai dengan Juli 2022. Penelitian ini disusun menggunakan Rancangan Bujur Sangkar Latin (RBSL) dimana terdapat 4 perlakuan yang diulang sebanyak 4 kali. Aplikasi rorak yang diterapkan adalah 0, 1, 2, dan 4 rorak pertanaman. Tiap unit perlakuan terdiri dari 1 tanaman. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa aplikasi rorak tidak memberikan pengaruh nyata pada morfologi pertumbuhan buah kakao pada parameter amatan Panjang tangkai buah kakao, Panjang buah kakao, diameter tangkai buah, diameter buah, serta pada komponen hasil jumlah biji, bobot buah segar, bobot kulit segar, bobot biji kering/buah, bobot biji basah/buah, bobot biji kering/pohon, bobot biji kering/100 biji, jumlah biji kering/100 g dan produksi perhektar (ha). Aplikasi rorak tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap aktivitas Morfologi buah kakao. ABSTRACT: Cocoa fruit development is highly dependent on various factors, one of which is the root environment. A good root environment can provide water and nutrients for the photosynthesis process and also directly increase fruit growth, one way to improve the condition of cocoa plant roots is to make rorak. This research was conducted in a community cocoa garden in Lape Village, Poso Pesisir District, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi. This research was conducted from April to July 2022. This research was arranged using a Latin Square Design (RBSL) where there were 4 treatments repeated 4 times. The rorak applications applied were 0, 1, 2, and 4 rorak per planting. Each treatment unit consists of 1 plant. The results of the study showed that the application of rorak did not have a significant effect on the morphology of cocoa fruit growth on the observation parameters of the length of the cocoa fruit stalk, the length of the cocoa fruit, the diameter of the fruit stalk, the diameter of the fruit, as well as on the components of the number of seeds, fresh fruit weight, fresh skin weight, dry seed weight/fruit, wet seed weight/fruit, dry seed weight/tree, dry seed weight/100 seeds, number of dry seeds/100 g and production per hectare (ha). The application of rorak did not have a significant effect on the activity of cocoa fruit morphology.]]>
