Penggunaan Stimulansia ETRAT pada Penyadapan Getah Pinus merkusii, Pinus oocarpa dan Pinus insularis di Hutan Pendidikan Gunung Walat

Abstract

Indonesia has the level of biodiversity that is high enough. One of them is pine tree. Pine trees can be used as a timber, but it also produce resin that can be processed into Gumrosin and turpentine. In Gunung Walat University Forest has 3 species kind of pine are P. merkusii, P. oocarpa, and P. insularis. Pine tapping productivity can methode by increase tapping technique and optimally at using stimulant. In Gunung Walat University Forest only pine tapping productivity from P. merkusii had be knowing. Therefore, it is necessary to research about productivity Pine resin the use of stimulant ETRAT especially P. oocarpa and P. insularis. The research uses 40 trees for each species of pine, 20 trees are used as control (without the stimulant) and 20 other trees using stimulant. The periode treatments resin collecting once 3 days with total observation as many 15 times. The observation weighed use scales digital. Based on this research, the highest average productivity is P. merkusii the use of stimulant ETRAT treatment that is 19,93 grams/quarre/day, followed by P. oocarpa and P. insularis with respective 19,29 grams/quarre/day and 14,95 grams/quarre/day. The percentage of increase in the resin after using stimulant ETRAT on P. merkusii that is equal 117,81%, 62,85% for P. oocarpa and 76,19% for P. insularis. The use of stimulant ETRAT value-added productivity of the pine resin tapping amound Rp 76,85/quarre/day for P. merkusii, Rp 51,73/quarre/day for P. oocarpa, and Rp 48,8/quarre/day for P. insularis. The use of stimulant ETRAT influence productivity of pine tapping all three species of pine. Based on Duncan test, the treatment of stimulant ETRAT on P. oocarpa is no diffrent to P. merkusii and P. insularis. The use of stimulant ETRAT influence research showed productivity the tapping P. merkusii with P. insularis.
