Peningkatan Produktivitas Penyadapan Getah Pinus Menggunakan Stimulansia Berbahan Kulit Pisang Ambon.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menjelaskan pengaruh stimulansia berbahan kulit pisang terhadap produktivitas getah pinus, membandingkan metode basah dan metode kering, serta menghitung nilai tambah penggunaannya. Penelitian dilakukan di RPH Leuwiliang, KPH Bogor yang menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan empat perlakuan, yaitu stimulansia kulit pisang metode basah, metode kering, SR-25, dan kontrol. Setiap perlakuan terdiri dari 20 pohon yang diamati selama 10 kali periode panen. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji Kruskal-Wallis dan dilanjutkan uji Mann–Whitney U. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa stimulansia kulit pisang mampu meningkatkan produktivitas getah pinus dibandingkan tanpa stimulansia. Metode basah menghasilkan rata-rata 5,913 g/quarre/hari dengan peningkatan sebesar 46,31%, sedangkan metode kering sebesar 5,947 g/quarre/hari dengan peningkatan sebesar 47,13%. Selain itu, SR-25 menghasilkan rata-rata 9,855 g/quarre/hari. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa metode basah dan metode kering tidak berbeda signifikan. Berdasarkan analisis nilai tambah, stimulansia kulit pisang metode kering lebih menguntungkan sehingga berpotensi digunakan sebagai alternatif stimulansia organik pada penyadapan getah pinus.

This study examined the effect of banana peel-based stimulants on pine resin productivity, compared the wet and dry application methods, and evaluated the added value of their use. The research was conducted at the Leuwiliang Forest Resort (RPH Leuwiliang), Bogor Forest Management Unit (KPH Bogor), using a completely randomized design with four treatments: banana peel stimulant applied using the wet method, banana peel stimulant applied using the dry method, SR-25, and a control treatment. Each treatment consisted of 20 trees observed over 10 harvesting periods. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test, followed by the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed that banana peel-based stimulants increased pine resin productivity compared with the control treatment without stimulants. The wet method produced an average resin yield of 5.913 g/quarre/day, representing an increase of 46,31%, while the dry method produced an average of 5,947 g/quarre/day, representing an increase of 47,13%. In addition, the SR-25 treatment produced an average resin yield of 9,855 g/quarre/day. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the wet and dry methods. Based on the value-added analysis, the dry method of banana peel-based stimulant was more profitable and therefore has the potential to be used as an alternative organic stimulant for pine resin tapping.
