Pengaruh Kombinasi Zeolit, Serbuk Gergaji dan Pasir Sebagai Media Tumbuh Rumput Bermuda (Qnodon Dactylon Cv. Tiffdwart ) terhadap Kualitas Fungsionalnya

Abstract

The objective of the study is to investigate the efects of the mixture of sow dust, zeolit and sand as media on hrrfqualities of Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon var. Tifdwurjl. There are 6 treatments of planting media including : Sand loo%, Sand 75% + Saw dust 25% + Zeolit 0 %, Sand 50% + SD 50% + Z PA, Sand 50% + SD 25% + Z 25%, Sand 50% + SD 0% + Z 50%, and Sand 75% + SD PA +Z 25%. The treatments have 3 replications and arrangged in Randomized Block Design. Analysis of media showed the addition of sow dust 25 - 50% into sand media increased physical qualities of media including the increasing of the water content of media and decreased bulk density of the media. In the contrary, compared to the control (sand 10PA) the d i t i o n of zeolit lowered water content of media The addition of sow dust 25% into sand media performed the best qualities of turf compared to the others media including of dry weight ofshoots, density of shoot, height of shoot, length of root and the shoot-root ratio.
