Mutu Buah Kelapa Jenis Kelapa Dalam (Cocos Nucifera L.) Berdasarkan Perbedaan Ketinggian Lahan
ABSTRACT
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is an important commodity for the people of
Indonesia, especially in Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau. The land in coastal areas
is generally tidal land, which often faces various problems. This study aims to
determine the quality of coconuts produced based on differences in land
elevation. The research uses a non-experimental comparative observational
approach. The samples consist of three groups based on plant elevation: KL1 =
coconut trees at 3 meters above sea level, KL2 = coconut trees at 5 meters above
sea level, and KL3 = coconut trees at 7 meters above sea level. The observed
parameters include the number of bunches per tree, the number of fruits per
bunch, fruit weight with mesocarp (g), coconut fruit circumference (cm), coconut
water weight (g), endocarp thickness (mm), endosperm thickness (mm),
endosperm weight (g), coconut oil yield (%), and coconut oil moisture content
(%). The results show that differences in land elevation for Tall Coconut plants
did not show a significant effect on the parameters of the number of bunches per
tree, number of fruits per bunch, coconut water weight, endocarp thickness,
endosperm thickness, endosperm weight, coconut oil yield, and coconut oil
moisture content. However, land elevation differences did affect the parameters
of fruit weight with mesocarp and coconut fruit circumference. At an elevation
of 7 meters above sea level, the best average results were obtained for fruit
weight with mesocarp at 2.59 kg and coconut fruit circumference at 53.20 cm.
