This study aimed to apply a prototype of Basmingro technology to optimize seaweed growth through the mass tissue culture method. An immersion treatment using Basmingro with a dose of 0.1 mL L-1 of seawater prior to the planting step was tested on Kappaphycus alvarezii seedlings from the nursery of the Takalar Marine Cultivation Center. The rearing process was carried out in the coastal waters of Popalo Village, Gorontalo Utara, Indonesia. Measurement of total wet-weight, sample weight, thallus diameter, and the number of branches was performed in pre and post rearing process. The experiment revealed that the growth-weight-specific rate of K. alvarezii rises from 2.7% in the first 20 rearing days to 4.5% in the second 20 rearing days. There is a significant (α=0.05; n=25 seedling knots) increase in wet weight, first-branch base diameter, and number of branches of K. alvarezii for 40 days of nurturing through the mass tissue with Basmingro solution immersion treatment. © 2023, BIOFLUX SRL.
