The Effect of Humic and Gibberellin on the Growth and Flowering of The Cat's Eye (Syzygium Zeylanicum) Plant

Abstract

Cat’s eye (Syzygium zeylanicum) is one of the tropical plants that has a fairly high value. Cat’s eye plant is often used variously. This first-year research was conducted with the aim to study the effect of the interaction of Humic acid and gibberellin on the flowering of Cat's eye plant and to determine the best concentrations of Humic acid (LHA) and gibberellin (GA) to spur the flowering of cat eye plant. The research method used is an experimental method with a factorial RAL treatment pattern. The first factor is the concentration of gibberellins consisting of 4 levels, namely 0 ppm; 100 ppm; 200 ppm; 300 ppm. The second factor is the concentration of Humic acid, which consists of 4 levels consisting of 0 ppm; 100 ppm; 200 ppm and 300 ppm. Each combination of treatments was repeated 10 times so that 120 experimental units were obtained. The results showed that the interaction between Humic acid and GA did not show significantly different results on all parameters tested. The independent use of GA and Humic acid may affect the growth of Cat's eye plant. GA treatment of 200 ppm showed plant height and relative growth rates. The Lion Humic acid treatment concentration of 0 ppm and 200 ppm showed the highest average number of flowers, while for the highest average number of roots shown in the 0 ppm Humic acid treatment. The F test was used to analyses the data, and if they were significantly different.
