Abstract


Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) is a palm species widely known in Indonesia for its various benefits; its seeds are utilized in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries, as well as in the tradition of betel nut chewing. Jambi Province—specifically the East and West Tanjung Jabung Regencies—is recognized as a major center for areca nut production in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effect of mycorrhizal biofertilizer application on the growth of areca nut seedlings. Field research was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture's Experimental Station. Growth analysis was performed at the Faculty of Agriculture's Basic Laboratory, while soil and plant tissue chemical analyses were carried out at the BRMP Laboratory. The study took place from November 2025 to March 2026. A single-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, featuring five dosage levels of mycorrhizal fertilizer: m0 (control), m1 (5 g), m2 (10 g), m3 (15 g), and m4 (20 g). Each treatment was replicated three times, resulting in 15 experimental units. Each unit comprised six seedlings—four of which served as samples—totaling 90 plants. Observed parameters included root infection, leaf nutrient content (N, P, K), total leaf area, plant dry weight, root volume, seedling quality index, and chemical analysis of the growing medium. Data were analyzed using anova and the DNMRT test at the 5% significance level. The results indicated that the mycorrhizal biofertilizer treatment significantly affected the measured parameters. The 20 g dosage (m4) increased phosphorus content by 58.14%, nitrogen by 26.36%, potassium by 53.29%, total leaf area by 32.55%, total dry weight by 25.57%, root volume by 69.94%, and the seedling quality index by 76.54%. The use of mycorrhizal biofertilizer is highly recommended for producing high-quality areca nut seedlings.
