ABSTRACT
The research was aimed to know determine the effect of several types of planting media and
the application of different ZPT concentrations on the growth of red ginger plant seedlings.
This study was using a factorial randomized group plan (RBD) consisting of two factors. The
first factor was the planting medium (M) which consisted of 3 trial levels, M1 (soil), M2 (Soil
+ Chicken Kohe Fertilizer), M3 (Soil + Burnt Husk). The second factor used in this research
was ZPT concentration (Z) which consists of 4 experimental levels, Z 0 (without ZPT), Z1 (0.5
ml/l), Z2 (1.0 ml/l), Z3 (1.5 ml/l). The results showed that the treatment of several types of
planting media had a significant effect on plant height parameters 7 WAP (35,50 cm). number
of leaves 7 WAP (15 strands), number of tillers 7 WAP (2 tillers), root length (45,98 cm), fresh
weight (32,53 g) and dry weight of plants (10,01 g). Soil planting media + animal manure gives
the best effect. Treatment with ZPT NAA concentration of 0.5 ml/1 affected the parameters of
plant height parameters 7 WAP (36,48 cm). number of leaves 7 WAP (15 strands), number of
tillers 7 WAP (2 tillers), root length (45,98 cm), fresh weight (33,50 g), and dry weight of
plants (11,60 g). There was an interaction between the treatment of the type of growing media
and the concentration of ZPT NAA on the parameters of plant height (1,2,3 WAP), number of
leaves (3, 4, 5 WAP) and root length 7 WAP.
