KONSEP BUDIDAYA GAHARU (Aquilaria spp.) DI PROVINSI BENGKULU

Abstract

Aquilaria spp. are a group of aromatic plants of high commercial value with the products being called gubal gaharu and kamedangan. The high level of exploitation on this species has raised concerns on the population status and its conservation strategic. Cultivation is a mean of strategic step for the sustainable use of any wild harvest. A survey was conducted to evaluate the cultivation of agarwood trees and its condition in Bengkulu Province. A rapid assessment survey technique was conducted in April 2008 by visiting the agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) cultivation areas in Bengkulu. In depth interviews were made with the local farmers who had the agarwood trees cultivation. Diameter at breast height (dbh), height of agarwood trees, water content of freshly cut agarwood tree and agarwood chips formed by artificial inoculation process were measured. The results showed that cultivation of agarwood trees was initiated and coordinated by a local enterprise called CV. 88 since 2003. Until July 2008 the members had reached 29 farmers with total area covering 38 ha. No less than 5,000 agarwood trees were planted, whilst inoculation on natural agarwood trees had reached 53 ha. The perception on the meaning of cultivation was not accordance with the legislation concept; therefore, socialization on the legal concept was needed. The majority species being cultivated and those grow wildly in the plantation areas were Aquilaria microcarpa Baill. and A. malaccensis Lam. The average weight of inoculated agarwood chips was 18.79 grams/piece (Std.= 8.85) with the water contents of 11.2-12.97%, whilst water contents of freshly cut agarwood tree was 46.3%. Single agarwood tree at the height of 35 m and dbh of 118 cm could produce at least 637.65 kg of commercially dry chips (kamedangan).

The Effect Various of Kinds Organic Fertilizer On Gaharu Seedling (Aquilariamalaccesis LAMK) In The Field

“…Gaharu is one of the forest plants that produces non -wood forest products (HBBK) (Fitriana, et al 2017). Gaharu is one of the groups of high commercial aromatic -producing plants in the form of agarwood, high market demand and high selling prices make this plant feared its use will exceed the carrying capacity of the experience, this is due While the growth rate for each type of agarwood is not widely known (Wiriadinata et al 2010).…”
