GROWTH OF JACKFRUIT
Abstract
Applications of biofertilizer products (BIOVAM - LIPI) is one activity biovillage
program - LIPI to promote plant growth of jackfruit. The research shows that the
application of biofertilizer BIOVAM significantly different at plant height and diameter
compared to the control. Back to nature, to harness the potential of soil microbes as
biofertilizer. The fact that happened people prefer to use chemical fertilizers. Because the
effect of the use of biofertilizers slow even though the price of expensive chemical
fertilizers. While the use of biofertilizers can preserve the environment and produce
organic products are safe. Exploiting the potential of soil microbes as biofertilizer with
simple technologies that easily made and applied by farmers. But this is also not an easy
thing, to change the mindset of farmers in using biofertilizers BIOVAM. Farmers prefer
chemical fertilizers because it feels better than the biofertilizer without any further
consideration of the impact on the environment.Utilization of environmentally friendly
biofertilizer is expected to compete with chemical fertilizers. The result is more secure or
organic products. The purpose of the activity biovillage is to compare the use of
biofertilizers BIOVAM with control (without biofertilizer), reducing the use of chemical
fertilizer and produces healthy food. Jackfruit plant chosen was one of the models of
tropical forest plants and plant jackfruit already widely known by the public. Jackfruit
plants also have the potential in which the fruit and seeds of the plant are edible jackfruit,
wood of the plant can be used, and so on. The results of the use of biofertilizers on crops
jackfruit showed biofertilizer can be more to support jackfruit plant growth. Through the
program biovillage, jackfruit plant seedlings will be given the first use of biofertilizers
BIOVAM started from seed. Utilization of biofertilizers for forest plants can help in
reforestation and forest development program undertaken by the municipality in dealing
with geothermal. Expected from biovillage program with simple technologies that utilize
the potential of microbes can be useful for creating environmentally friendly
Introduction
Agricultural development is supported by biotechnological advances that enable researchers to
develop biofertilizer with microbial content such as fertilizer with mycorrhizae content. It improves
and maintains soil quality while it also enhances crop growth and productivity.
According to Irianto (2009) and Turjaman (2013) giving the biofertilizer to seedling is capable
to support plant growth. Sukiman (2012), add to CO2 uptake provides information that plants with
treated inoculation soil fungi mycorrhizae are able to absorb up to 747.72 tons per hectare while that
plants without treated with mycorrhizae is 639.35 tons per hectare. Specifically, the data for these
types of African wood plants, with other crops, CO2 uptake given with biofertilizer treatment -
mycorrhizae can reduce elevated CO2.

Conclusion
The role of soil microbes mycorhizae fungi - BIOVAM help the jackfruit plant in acquiring
nutrients and water with the help of hyphae so as to increase the surface area of roots, helps stimulate
the growth of seedlings and help shorten growth to be faster, increase drought resistance and diseases
that attack plant roots, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers BIOVAM only
performed one time only.
