The main obstacle in the production of patchouli is the lack of fertilizer and plants are often attacked by diseases. Besides the condition of the soil as a planting medium will determine the success of patchouli production and quality. Particularly in the highlands, other obstacles in patchouli production are poor soil fertility, physical and biological properties of Ultisols. While in the lowlands, patchouli tends to be cultivated on Entisols soil with low to medium soil nutrient and does not support patchouli production if it is not well-managed. The using of mycorrhizal as bio-fertilizer expected the production of organic Aceh's patchouli will increase. This study aims to determine the effect of soil orders and mycorrhizal bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of Aceh patchouli and the interaction between the two factors studied. This research used a Factorial Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The first factor observed was type of soil; namely Ultisols and Entisols. While the second factor includes mycorrhizal genus Glomus mosseae, Gigaspora sp. and mix Glomus mosseae with Gigaspora sp. The variables observed in this study include of the plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of primary branches, fresh weight, dry weight, root mycorrhizae colonization, P uptake, and oil content that produced by patchouli. The results showed that Ultisol soil order and mycorrhizal bio-fertilizer genus of Glomus mosseae gave the best results for the average parameters studied. © 2020 EManuscript Technologies.
