Abstract

Ultisol which is deficient in phosphorus can be used as a planting media for oil palm seedlings with the addition of mycorrhizal fertilizer. This research aims to determine the effect of providing mycorrhizal fertilizer on the growth of oil palm seedlings in ultisol planting media in polybags. The research was carried out at the Experimental Station, Batanghari University. Soil analysis and plant tissue was carried out at the Laboratory of the Agricultural Information Standards Agency for Food Crops, Jambi Province. Analysis of mycorrhizal infection and measurement of plant growth was carried out by the Basic Laboratory of Batanghari University, Jambi. The study used a one-factor completely randomized design. The treatment design is mycorrhizal fertilizer (m) with 4 dose levels as follows: m0= 0 g, m1= 5 g, m2= 10 g, m3= 15 g, and m4= 20 g. The parameters observed were the percentage of root infection, leaf phosphorus content, plant height, stem diameter, plant dry weight, root volume, and soil analysis. The results showed that mycorrhizal fertilizer treatment increased root infection by 700%, phosphorus uptake by 364.45%, plant height by 44.65%, stem diameter by 69.91%, total leaf area by 61.83%, root volume by 365.53%, and total dry weight by 170.21%. Mycorrhizal biofertilizer can be used to increase the growth of oil palm seedlings planted in ultisol media.
