Reclamation is an effort to repair or maintain the function of lands affected by mining activity. It is done to make the lands useful and to ensure revegetation. The lands which are formerly used for mining activity need reclamation in order to bring back ecosystem, micro-climate, land fertility and water storage function to resolve the problems on limited fertile land in attempt to increase palm production. Therefore, there are two ways which should be conducted: 1) controlling the function of farmland, 2) increasing the quality of marginal lands to be used as farmland. This research aims to find out the effects of goat manure and cinder husk distribution with various doses to the development of palm plantation. The experiment was done in Pijoan, Muaro Jambi, throughout 5 months, from April to September 2019. The experiment was conducted with complete random design, consisting of 8 treatments with 3 times repeatition. P1 : 150 g of goat manure + 325 g of cinder husk, P2 :175 g of goat manure + 300 g of cinder husk, P3 : 200 g of goat manire + 275 g of cinder husk, P4 : 225 g of goat manure + 250 g of cinder husk, P5: 250 g of goat manure + 225 g of cinder husk, P6 : 275 g of goat manure + 200 g of cinder husk, P7 : 300 g of goat manure + 175 g of cinder husk, P8: 325g of goat manure +150 g of cinder husk. The data resulted from the research was analysed statistically with 5% of Tuker HSD examination. The distribution of optimal fertilizer for palm plantation growth was done by distributing 325 gr of goat manure + 150 gr of cinder husk treatment for the plant height, rod diameter, number of leaves and the number of midribs.
