dc.description.abstract | ADE KHANA SAPUTRI. Utilization of Fungi Aspergillus flavus, A. tereus and
Trichoderma harzianum to increase the growth of Bruguiera cylindrica seedlings
in Nelayan Indah Village. Supervised by YUNASFI and MOHAMMAD
BASYUNI.
Mangrove forest is one of coastal ecosystems that have high productivity.
Recently, mangrove damaged either directly or indirectly. Direct damage for
example logging, timber harvesting, settlement construction and ponds
manufacturing, ports and roads construction, and arrest biota in mangrove
ecosystems. Furthermore, indrectly threat maybe caused by coastal dredging,
disposal of waste and industrial waste in the sea and the coast, coastal and
marine mining, and deforestation. As a result above-mentioned threat of degraded
mangrove forests. Therefore, it is needed for rehabilitation efforts. The research
was conducted in September 2014 to January 2015 using a completely
randomized design (CRD) with treatments of A. flavus, A. tereus and T.
harzianum and with five replications. Results showed that different fungi
treatment provided different growth response. The highest mean of height growth
obtained from B. cylindrica seedlings treated with A. tereus that was 7.29 cm. The
largest diameter was obtained seed treated with T. harzianum by 0.42 cm. The
highest value of dry weight obtained from seedlings treated with fungi A. tereus
that was 1.74 g. The largest leaf area obtained from seedlings treated with fungus
of T. harzianum, that was 402.23 cm2. | en_US |
