Seaweed Cultivation and How to Use TON (Pond Organic Nusantara)

In carrying out the cultivation of seaweed, the first to be considered is the selection of the location of cultivation. Better farming area that is not cultivated in the waters of fluctuating salinity (salt content), a large and free from industrial and household pollution. Besides the choice of location should also consider the economic and labor aspects.

Seaweed farming can be done at an area off the coast and in the ponds. In the present discussion we will emphasize on cultivation in ponds. This is considering the role TON ineffective if waters off the (beach). For freelance aquaculture distinguished in several methods, namely:
1. Remove Method Association
Where this is done by tying seaweed seedlings on a string - the string that was set in a row - row in the territorial waters of the sea with a depth of 30-60 cm. Seaweed is planted in the bottom waters.

2. Raft Methods
This method is done in waters more than 60 cm depth. Working with grass seed in the rope binding - a rope tied around the peg - peg in a position like floating in the middle - the middle depth of water.

3. Hanging rope method
If the two methods over the position of seeds - seeds of seaweed in a horizontal position (flat), then the noose method is done by attaching seeds - seeds of seaweed in a vertical position (perpendicular) on the ropes - the rope is arranged in rows.

Use TON with three ways above can only be done by soaking seed system. Because if TON applied in the waters would not be effective and many are lost by the ocean currents. Seed soaking method is done by:
1. TON dissolve in seawater is placed in the container.
2. To one liter of sea water given quarter tablespoons (50-10 grams) TON and add 1-2 cc Hormonic.
3. Soak for 4-5 hours, and seed planting.

TON usage will be very effective if applied in the cultivation of seaweed in ponds. How to cultivation in ponds can be done with dispersive methods. The trick is as follows:
1. Ponds should be equipped with a channel revenues and expenditures.
2. Dried pond first.
3. Sprinkle the lime to neutral pH (0.5 - 2 tons per hectare depending on the acidity conditions of land).
4. Leave it for a week.
5. Apply TON, with a dose of 1-5 bottles per-hectare (for regions - areas of high pollution levels, the dose is raised), by dissolving it with water first, then spread evenly in the bottom of ponds.
6. Leave it a day
7. Add water to a height of 70 cm.
8. Sprinkle sea grass seed that has been soaked with TON and hormonic such as by soaking the above. With the density of 80-100 g/m2.
9. When the pond bottom hard enough, the seeds can be plugged in like planting rice.
10. Not need added fertilizer macro.
