Potensi Limbah Daun Eucalyptus Sp Hasil Penebangan HTI sebagai Bahan Baku Minyak Atsiri PT Toba Pulp Lestari Tbk Sektor Aek Nauli

Abstract

Eucalyptus is a superior type of industrial plantation forest (HTI). Currently, Eucalyptus is only used for the wood part, while the leaves are discarded as unusable waste. Eucalyptus leaves can be used as non-timber forest products (NTFPs) by using them as essential oil. This research aims to 1) Calculate the potential for leaf waste resulting from Eucalyptus felling for each clone in the PT area. Toba Pulp Lestari, 2) Calculating the potential number of leaves in the felled area in the last 5 years, 3) Analyzing the differences in potential leaf waste from felling between clones in the PT area. Toba Pulp Lestari, 4) Looking for the best clones to produce potential harvested leaf waste in the PT area. Toba Pulp Sustainable. Eucalyptus trees that were 4 years old from 10 types of clones were cut down. 10 trees were cut from each clone as replications. The leaves are then separated from the twigs and then weighed. The scale is calibrated and the weight is converted. Data analysis used a non-factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatment levels (clone types). The results of the research showed that the treatment did not have a real effect on the potential of felled waste leaves in each clone. This happened because there were no differences in the treatment of each replication between clones.
