Abstract

Kaempferia rotunda, usually called as temu putih is belonging into Zingiberaceae family.
This plant has been used as traditional medicine for curing diarrhoe and disentry.
Objective of the study was to determine the effect of pseudo tubers number and organic
fertilizers on the productivity of K. rotunda. Research was conducted in Treub
Laboratory, Research Centre for Biology LIPI, Bogor, from July 2002 until April 2003.
The experiment was arranged in a factorial Randomized Block Design. The treatments
consisted of two factors, i.e the first factor were number of pseudo tubers (0, 2 and 4)
and second factor were organic fertilizers (soil, goat manure and compost).
The result of the exsperiment showed that both factors, i.e number of pseudo tubers and
organik fertilizers significantly affect productivity of K.rotunda. The effect of goat
manure more dominant than compost. The interaction of those two factors significantly
influenced number of leaves and fresh weight of rhizome. The best results was on the
combination treatment of two pseudo tubers and goat manure which had the highest
value on all peubahs observed which were increased growth and yield of K. rotunda
significantly.
