UTILIZATION OF RICE AND COCONUT WATER WASTE TO ACCELERATE THE GROWTH OF SYZYGIUM MYRTIFOLIUM (ROXB) WALP SEEDLINGS ON SEDIMENT MEDIA
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Rice water and coconut water is a liquid waste produced by households, markets and food industries. Sediment is a collection of mud that settles on the bottom of the body of water. Syzygium myrtifolium (Roxb) Walp is an ornamental plant with newly emerging leaf buds on the top of a bright red top. The aims of this research is to know the effect of rice water and coconut water waste toward the growth of Syzygium myrtifolium (Roxb) Walp on sediment media. Three month old of Syzygium myrtifolium (Roxb) Walp seedlings are grown on sediment media. The treatments were coconut water waste; rice water waste and water. Each waste of 150 ml is splashed on Syzygium myrtifolium (Roxb) Walp seedlings in the morning. Results of sediment analysis contained 40.6% of clay, 47.8% of sand, total N of 0.35%, P of 5.04mgkg-1 and K of 1.05 me/100g. The coconut water waste contains total N of 0.017%; P of 7.6mgL-1, K of 0.018me/100mL and auxin and cytokinin. Rice water waste contains total N of 0.011%; P of 15.30mgL-1; K of 0.03me/mL and B1 Vitamine. Results of this study show high growth ranging from 11.6 to 15.1 cm, Stem diameter of 1,1 to 1.8mm, leaves number of 26 to 45 strand and root length of 9.0cm to 11,0cm for 3 months on sedimentary media. This study concludes that the utilization of coconut water waste accelerate the growth of Syzygium myrtifolium (Roxb) Walp seedlings on sediment media.
