The growth performance of rubber seedlings by using the different level of rubber factory effluent / Nazahratulwardah Jamaludin

A field experiment was conducted on green house at UiTM Jasin Melaka to examine the growth performance of rubber seedling by using a different level of rubber factory effluent and examine soil chemical properties. The sample of rubber factory effluent was collected from Tampin, Negeri Sembilan. A complete randomized design was adopted with six treatment replicated four times. T0 served as control, T1 received 50ml of rubber factory effluent, T2 received 100mI of rubber factory effluent, T3 received 150ml of rubber factory effluent, T4 received 200ml of rubber factory effluent and T5 received 250ml of rubber factory effluent. Data were collected on the growth performance parameter such s plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, diameter of stem and leaves area. The result of this study showed that there have significant differences on plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, diameter of stem, and leaves area.Result of rubber factory effluent on soil analysis showed that there rich in some chemical properties as plant needed and also had effect on growth performance of rubber seedlings.
