D      Octriana. L      Emilda. D      Santoso. P. J       Journal of Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research ;  2009  [Vol.17]  Pages:67-77 Abstract This research was aimed on evaluating the effect of organic fertilizers on susceptibility of durian seedlings to Phytophthora palmivora. The green compost, chicken manure and rice husk, alone or in a mixture, significantly increased seedling survival. Therefore, such growing media composition should be taken into account as one of the elements of integrated Phytophthora control in durian. On the other hand, goat manure has a ruinous effect on the growth and survival of durian seedlings and shall be avoided in durian orchards.
