Abstract:
The use of cocoa pod husk biochar and various biological agents in the planting medium significantly increased the growth of cocoa seedlings. The research was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a Split Plot pattern. The main factors consisted of 2 (two) treatment levels, namely: B0 (without biochar of cocoa pod skin) and B1 (15 g of cocoa pod husk biochar), while the child factors consisted of 4 (four) treatment levels, namely: A0 (without biological agents), M (arbuscular mycorrhiza 15 g), MR (arbuscular mycorrhizae 15 g + 15 ml rhizobacteria) and MT (arbuscular mycorrhizae

Cocoa is one of the estate crop whose role is quite important for the national economy, particularly as a provider of employment, income and foreign exchange. The high export opportunities of cocoa beans has not been followed by the production of cocoa beans in Indonesian. The production of dried cacao beans in Indonesia is still low. The low productivity of seeds generally caused by Cherelle wilt of cacao. Wilting occurs due to inability of the cherelle to compete with the other cherelle in absorbing nutrients.

Abstract:
Cocoa beans are found inside an outer husk; 60% of the cocoa fruit is the outer husk, which is a waste biomass. The husk cannot be used directly as a soil amendment as it promotes the fungal black pod disease, which reduces crop yield. The pods are segregated from the trees, and their plant nutrient value is wasted. This is particularly true for the small acreage farmers in West Africa. Cocoa pod husk is well suited to be used as a biomass source for electricity production. The waste ash is rich in potassium, which can be converted in various chemical products, most notably, high-purity potass
