Abstract

Objectives of this study was to analyze the increase in the leaf number of coconut palm due to the application of solution containing secondary metabolite of Trichoderma sp. Twenty plant samples were divided into 2 groups, 10 plants with 1800 cc of Trichoderma sp. secondary metabolite (treatment) and 10 plants without the application that secondary metabolite (control). The average age of plants used was 5 years. Results of this study showed that there was a tendency of increased leaf number in plants with the application of secondary metabolite of Trichoderma sp. The increase of leaf number of treatment group was 3-6 leaves, while in the control group it was only 3-4 leaves in 6 months. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
