Growth Response of Boots Resulting from Grafting of Rambutan Plants (Nephelium Lappaceum L.) on Various Concentrations of Young Coconut Water

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the response of giving young coconut water to the growth of shoots resulting from grafting of rambutan plants. This research was carried out in Taruncue Hamlet, Alenangka Village, South Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency. This research was carried out using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of 4 treatments with 3 replications, so there were 12 experimental units. Each unit consists of 6 plants, so the total number of experimental plants is 72 experimental plants. The treatment consisted of: A0: Control, A1: 75 ml of young coconut water/liter of water, A2: 100 ml of young coconut water/liter of water, A3: 125 ml of young coconut water/liter of water. The results of the research showed that in the treatment of various concentrations of young coconut water that had the best influence on the growth of buds resulting from grafting of rambutan plants, there was a concentration of young coconut water of 100 ml of young coconut water/liter of water (A2) and had a very significant effect on the parameters of shoot length ( 5.67 cm), number of leaves (10.72 pieces) and a significant effect on shoot diameter (1.93 mm).
