Pengaruh Pemberian Pupuk NPK Terhadap Pertumbuhan Bibit Kaliandra Merah (Calliandra Calothyrsus Meissn) Pada Media Ultisol

ABSTRACT Red caliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissn) is a plant that belongs to the Fabaceae family. Callindra has a rapid growth rate, reaching a height of 3-5 meters in the first year on suitable land. The planting medium commonly used for seedlings includes ultisol soil, which generally has sensitive aeration pores and low stability index, causing the soil to easily become compacted. The growth of quality calliandra seedlings in the nursery is influenced by soil fertility; therefore, additional treatment in the form of fertilizer is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrient content. One of the fertilizers that can be used is the NPK compound fertilizer. This fertilizer is one of the inorganic fertilizers that is very efficient in increasing the availability of macro nutrients N, P, and K. This research was conducted in the Forest Cultivation Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Jambi University, using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method with one factor, namely the NPK fertilizer 15:15:15. The treatments given were: P0 (without treatment), P1 (NPK 1 grams), P2 (NPK 2 grams), P3 (NPK 3 grams), P4 (NPK 4 grams), and P5 (NPK 5 grams). Observation parameters include height increase, diameter, leaf count, root dry weight, and shoot dry weight. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the application of NPK fertilizer has no significant effect on the growth of calliandra seedlings in ultisol media, as observed in all parameters. The application of NPK at certain doses does not yield optimal results in the growth of callindra seedlings.
