Physiological responses of clove seedlings applied with different microbial consortium in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere 1Magister Study Program of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan KM 10 Makassar 90245, Indonesia. Abstract Rhizhosphere and phyllosphere serve as habitat for many kinds of plant-associated microbial. This study aims to study the effect of application of microbial consortium in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of clove seedlings on the plant physiological parameters. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment with two factors based on the randomized blocked design. Application of microbial consortium of Azotobacter sp., Lactobacillus sp., Bacillus subtilis, and Trichoderma sp. in the rhizosphere was set as the first factor, consisted of four levels, namely control (0 mL), 4, 6, and 8 mL. The second factor was the application of the microbial consortium of Gliocladium sp. and Beauveria bassiana in the phyllosphere consisted of four levels, namely control (0 mL), 2, 4, and 6 mL. The physiological parameters observed included observations on the components of leaf stomata, light intensity, and leaf chlorophyll. Result the study showed the average value of the best treatment interactions by application of 8 mL in the rhizosphere and 6 mL in the philosphere, however application the microbial consortium in the rhizosphere and the philosphere simultaneously did not give significantly different from control means that the application of 8mL treatment in the rhizosphere or 6mL in the philosphere gives significantly different results at the Turkey test, So that can affect physiology Clove seedlings, directly or indirectly.
