Different Concentrations Of Coconut Meal Decoction as a<br />

Component <strong>of</strong> Culture Media for Cultivat<strong>in</strong>g Trichoderma<br />

harzianum<br />

Mark Daniel S. Broñozo, Erick John C. Carlos, Raymond S. Mejia<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Coconut meal, also known as sapal, is <strong>the</strong> coconut meat from which milk<br />

and water have been extracted. It conta<strong>in</strong>s organic matters like oils, prote<strong>in</strong>s, and<br />

sugars. It also conta<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong>organic nutrients like potassium, magnesium, calcium,<br />

and nitrogen. Coconut meal is usually just thrown away s<strong>in</strong>ce it has no known<br />

uses.<br />

Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus that degrades <strong>the</strong> cell walls <strong>of</strong><br />

pathogenic fungi. It can also speed up decomposition <strong>of</strong> organic materials.<br />

Farmers may utilize Trichoderma harzianum to speed up <strong>the</strong> decay <strong>of</strong><br />

organic matter for mak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir own fertilizers. This <strong>in</strong> turn will make agricultural<br />

products cheaper.<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> study was to device a cheap alternative culture medium<br />

for cultivat<strong>in</strong>g Trichoderma harzianum us<strong>in</strong>g coconut meal decoction as a<br />

component <strong>of</strong> agar and to f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> best ratio between sucrose and coconut meal<br />

decoction.<br />

The study was composed <strong>of</strong> six setups, five setups with different ratios <strong>of</strong><br />

coconut meal decoction and sucrose while <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r setup is <strong>the</strong> control setup.<br />

The control setup is composed <strong>of</strong> Czapek Agar. Data was ga<strong>the</strong>red by terms <strong>of</strong><br />

biomass ga<strong>in</strong>ed. The samples were weighed before and after <strong>the</strong> experiment. Data<br />

was <strong>the</strong>n analyzed.<br />

The results showed that coconut meal decoction was more effective than<br />

commercial Czapek Agar.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Petroleum nut is abundantly present <strong>in</strong> areas whose elevation ranges from<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bicol Prov<strong>in</strong>ces, Palawan, M<strong>in</strong>doro, Nueva Ecija, and Laguna Prov<strong>in</strong>ces.<br />

Turpent<strong>in</strong>e can be extracted from various coniferous trees. In <strong>the</strong> plant<br />

Pittosporum res<strong>in</strong>iferum or hanga, it comprises up to 50% <strong>of</strong> its essential oil.
