| dc.description.abstract | Massive Degradation of mangroves require restoration efforts to restore the
function of the mangrove ecosystem. Restoration is necessary to improve the
potential of the mangrove ecosystem. The type of mangrove that can be developed
in ecosystem restoration efforts is Rhizophora, especially R. apiculata. Mangrove
fertilization plays an important role in supporting mangrove ecosystem restoration
efforts. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of applying cow
manure, goat manure, chicken manure, and quail manure and without manure on
the growth of Rhizophora apiculata mangrove seedlings. This study was conducted
from October 2023 to January 2024. This study used a Completely Randomized
Design consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications, namely P0 (control/without
fertilizer application), P1 (cow manure 200 g/seedling), P2 (goat manure 200
g/seedling), P3 (chicken manure 100 g/seedling), and P4 (quail manure 50
g/seedling). Observations and data collection were carried out every two weeks for
14 weeks. The parameters observed were seedling height growth, seedling diameter,
number of leaves, seedling dry weight, seedling wet weight, leaf area, temperature,
salinity, rainfall, air humidity and seedling growth rate. The results showed that the
treatment that had the most effect on the growth of height, diameter, number of
leaves, leaf area, wet weight and dry weight of R. apiculata seedlings was the
provision of 100 g/seedling chicken manure. | en_US |
