Abstract
Montong durian has high economic value, but the availability of
superior seeds is still limited. This study aims to test the effect of urea
fertilizer and oyster mushroom baglog waste compost on the vegetative growth of
Montong durian seedlings. The study was conducted in Amplas Village, Medan,
using a Random Design of Factorial Groups with two factors, namely the dose of
urea fertilizer (0, 10, 20, and 30 g/polybag) and the proportion of baglog
waste compost (0, 750, 1500, and 2250 g). The results showed that the
application of urea fertilizer and baglog waste compost did not really affect
plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and leaf area. Suboptimal
fertilizer doses and low compost quality, including nitrogen and phosphorus
content cause this ineffectiveness. It is recommended to increase the duration
of composting and adjust the dose of urea fertilizer to support the optimal
growth of Montong durian seedlings.
