Suitability of Cocopeat as a Transplanting Media in the Polytube of Magnolia elegans (Blume.) H. Keng Seedlings

Abstract: This study aims to determine the suitability of using cocopeat as planting media at transplanting containers in the polytube of the cempaka seedlings growth.  The method used in this research was implementing a trial use of cocopeat as transplanting media in the polytube and being compared to the growth of cempaka seedlings in polytubes and polybags containing topsoil.  The parameters observed included percent survival (%), height (cm), and diameter (cm) of the plants.  Through the t-test it was shown that the… Show more

“…Cocopeat is made from coconut fiber which has a high ability to hold water and improve soil drainage. This is in line with Irawan & Hidayah (2014), stating that cocopeat can absorb water and loosen the soil. This allows kailan plants to get an adequate supply of water, which can help reduce the risk of root disease.…”

“…Cocopeat is an organic growing medium derived from coconut belt powder. Cocopeat has high in chlorine and tannins, which are known to inhibit plant growth (Irawan and Hidayah, 2014). The chlorine content required for cocopeat should not be more than 200 mg / L (Christy, 2020).…”

“…The chlorine content required for cocopeat should not be more than 200 mg / L (Christy, 2020). Therefore, it is very important to soak and wash the cocopeat raw material for several hours to remove excess chlorine and tannins (Irawan and Hidayah, 2014). The advantages of cocopeat as a planting medium include: it has high water absorption, can store water in pores, contains nutrients because it will store liquid fertilizer, reduces the frequency of fertilization, contains very natural nutrients, loosens the soil with a neutral degree of soil acidity, namely 5,8-6, and supports rapid root growth and is therefore good for culture media (Awang et al, 2009;Laure et al, 2017).…”

“…Hal ini dipertegas oleh Bahzar dan Santosa, 2018; (Yuliani et al, 2023), media tanam yang umum digunakan untuk pertumbuhan microgreen seperti rock wool, cocopeat, tanah, hdiroton atau bahan lain yang memiliki daya absorbansi tinggi. Media yang mempunyai aaerasi dan drainase yang baik memiliki daya pegang air dan mampu memfasilitasi pertukaran gas yang keluar masuk melalui media (Irawan & Nurul, 2014).…”
