Abstract
The quality of planting media affects plant growth because it contains nutrients that support growth. Differences in the composition of the planting media may also have different effects on plant growth. This study aims to identify the growth response of red jabon seedlings on various compositions of planting media. The research design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with different treatments on the planting media composition (M1: soil; M2: soil and sand; M3: soil, sand and compost; and M4: soil, sand and manure). Seedling growth variables observed were seedling height, seedling diameter, number of leaves and leaf area. The parameters were Shoot-Root Ratio (SRR) and the Seedling Quality Index (SQI). The results showed that M4 media gave greater growth in seedling height, seedling diameter, number of leaves and leaf area. Meanwhile, M3 provides higher SRR and SQI scores. Differences in the composition of the planting media had a significant effect on the leaf area.
