7 PREPARATION OF SEEDBEDS

8 PREPARATION OF SEEDBEDS 1. Mixing top soil, compost and sand (5:3:2) for media 2. Sterilization media 3. Sprayed with Viusid Agro (1.5 ml/ 5 L water) 1 day before sowing 4. Giving Mixed Fertilizer (50 g/seedbed)

9 SOWING SEEDS

10 Sowing seeds date : 23 may 2015 Seeds was mixed with water for easier application (Picture 1). Seedbeds was prepared in line format (Picture 4) Sowing seeds

11 MAINTENANCE

12 MAINTENANCE 1. Viusid Agro spraying after 7, 10, 15, 21, 25 and 30 days sowing were performed 2. There were 27% reduction in basic mineral fertilizers for treatment group 3. Control group was treated in accordance with PTPN II standards

13 4. Previcure (30 ml/5 L water/seedbed) was administered on the seedbed in order to prevent Pythium sp attacks.. Days after sowing Date 05/22/15 06/02/15 06/07/15 06/15/15 06/23/15 06/27/15 5. Insecticide (Sevin : BA Mipcindo 10%) also have been given on seedbeds surrounding 3 times for the intention of controlling ants (Table 2). Time Morning Morning/afternoon Morning/afternoon Date 05/22/ /23/ /24/2015

14 4. Giving Mixed Fertilizer (50 g/seedbed) Treatment : Control Viusid Agro 100% Mixed Fertilizer 75% Mixed Fertilizer Mixed fertilizers were applied by dissolving the fertilizers into water and watered onto seedbeds. Fertilization at 7, 10, 15, 21, 25 and 30 days sowing

15 6. Resetting (seedbeds to tray transmission) One day before trasmission, tray was sprayed with Viusid Agro (1.5 ml/ 5 L water)

The treatment of Viusid Agro had standard deviation value less than control, so the Viusid Agro treatment has a more uniform the number of leaves compared to the control. Analysis use MINITAB16

Treatment of Viusid Agro had diameter stem bigger than control so that seedlings are more resistant to wind attacks. The treatment of Viusid Agro had the same high seedling and the number of leaves as control. Analysis use MINITAB16

Treatment of Viusid Agro had root deeper than control so the crop nutrient absorption to be better compared to the control Analysis use MINITAB16

24 CONCLUSION

25 1) Seedlings of Viusid Agro treatment shown high seedlings, leaves size, number of leaves and volume root the same as control. 2) Seedlings of Viusid Agro treatment had larger diameter stem than control, which indicate better resistance from wind attacks. 3) Seedlings of Viusid Agro treatment shown longer root than control hence the nutrient absorption is better compared to the control.
