| Summary: | Urban forests in aesthetic function give priority to the choice of plant species that have a visual beauty and physical uniqueness. Trees as the main component in urban forests can provide aesthetic value both in large dimensions as trees and small as hedges. Silvicultural techniques such as coppicing (coppicing) is one way to turn trees into hedges in urban forests. The coppicing technique is used to increase the number of shoots, while the administration of MSG to stimulate bud growth is faster. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the coppicing technique on plant growth, and to determine the effect of providing MSG solution of 3,000 ppm and 6,000 ppm to the growth of the mulch. The study was conducted in March - June 2019 at the ITB at an elevation of 728 m above sea level. The study used a plot design divided by two treatments (giving MSG and tree species) with three replications. Provision of MSG as the main factor consists of, 0 ppm (N1) MSG, 3,000 ppm (N2) MSG, and 6,000 ppm (N3) MSG. Tree species as subfactors, consisting of species of T. sinensis (P1), P. falcataria (P2), G. arborea (P3) and S. macrophylla (P4). The variables measured consisted of the number of shoots, shoot length, shoot diameter and number of leaves. Measurement data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of observations for three months showed that the trubusan technique could increase the number of secondary branches, number of leaves, and stem diameter in the species of T. sinensis, P. falcataria, G. arborea and S. macrophylla. Giving MSG solution of 3,000 ppm and 6,000 ppm was not effective in increasing the number of shoots, shoot length, shoot diameter and number of leaves in the species of T. sinensis, P. falcataria, G. arborea and S. macrophylla. |
