Abstract

Agarwood is the blackish-colored wood and contains resins produced by species of genus/genus Aquilaria and Gyrinops, especially A. malaccensis and G. versteegii. The species is included in Appendix II because the population of agarwood-producing plants is vulnerable with a sharp decrease in its yield. In this research, the resin-producing agarwood plants were cultivated in the environment of Universitas Negeri Semarang to produce superior quality agarwood wood. The Completely randomized design was employed to treat the soil for agarwood planting using compost ranged from 0 kg to 1.5 kg each hole. The result showed that the highest fertilizer composition to optimally boost the growth of agarwood plants is 1-1.5 kg. This research was a form of conservation effort the scarce natural resources of the agarwood plant. By this research, rare agarwood plants were cultivated locally in the area of Universitas Negeri Semarang as an effort to save the Indonesian native agarwood germplasm that can be made as export commodities in the future.
