Utilization of biotechnology staters to improve quality and production of clove plant (syzygium aromaticum l)

---Clove plant is a commercial plant that has a lot of potentials. Gitgit Sukasada Village, Buleleng is one of the clove plantation centers, but lately, its production has decreased due to a large number of clove plants that have been attacked by the disease. For this reason, it is necessary to research how to increase production. The purpose of this research is to get organic fertilizer products that are environmentally friendly that can improve the quality and production of clove plants. The design used is a randomized group design. The results showed that biostaters could accelerate the maturity of organic fertilizer, within 30 days organic fertilizer was ready to be used and the quality of the fertilizer could be improved. The results of research on clove plants at the age of 20 years showed that the treatment of organic fertilizer 2 tons/ ha and 3 tons/ha had a significant effect on the number of flowers /stems and dry weight /trees, and so were not found sick plants. Whereas in the control and treatment of 1 ton /ha organic fertilizer, sick clove plants were found. Adapted compost fertilizer also increases the brightness of the leaf's color, and can increase the size of the clove fruit.
