ABSTRACT
Acacia mangium Willd. classified as plants that require nutrients are complete and
available or Nutrient demanding crop, althought for grow and evolve requires a lot
of nutrients that one of them is the phosphorus element. Phosphorus is needed
absorption of nutrientsb by increasing the number of nodules on the roots so as to
increase plant growth. The fertilization is one way that can be done to fulfill the
availability of soil nutrients that plants need. The purpose of this research is to
determine the effect of phosphorus fertilizer application on acacia seedlings in
topsoil medium, determine the best dose to the growth of seedlings of acacia and
check the availability of phosphorus in the soil at this seedling. This research uses
a completely randomize design method which consist of 4 treatments and 10
replications. T0 = without phosphorus fertilizer; T1 = 20 g/polybag ; T2= 25
g/polybag ; T3 = 30 g/polybag ;. The results of this research indicates that the
phosphorus fertilizer with 25 g / polybag dose on top soil medium is the best
treatment in the parameter of observations, the high increasing (9.36 cm), the
diameter increasing (1.19 mm) for seedling Acacia mangium Willd. in topsoil
medium. Giving of phosphorus fertilizer can increase soil pH (4.56), P-bray
(527.66 mg / kg) and P-total (7000.1 mg / kg) the availability increasing of
phosphorus in the soil for growth seedlings Acacia mangium Willd.
