Summary:Abstract This study aims to examine the strength of cocopot, analyze cocopot as a seedling media, evaluate the potential utilization of coconut waste from making cocopot and analyze economic development from making cocopot to organic plant farmers. The study used a burlap karoni mold with dimensions of 30 cm x 15 cm. The study was carried out with variations in adhesives namely starch adhesives, wood glue and polybags as controls. Research on air falls and immersion in the air is done to fight cocopot's durability and adhesiveness. Research on the impact of using cocopot on plants was carried out with indicators of the height and number of leaves of cayenne. The results of the research on the strength of durability, the adhesiveness of cocopot and the impact of cocopot on plants prove that cocopot with starch adhesives is better than adhesives of wood glue and polybags. Keywords: Cocopot, cocofiber, organic pot. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kekuatan cocopot, menganalisa pengaruh cocopot sebagai media semai, mengevaluasi potensi pengurangan limbah serabut kelapa dari pembuatan cocopot dan menganalisa pengaruh ekonomi dari pembuatan cocopot terhadap petani tanaman organik. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat cetakan berlapis karung goni dengan dimensi 30 cm x 15 cm. Penelitian dilakukan dengan variasi perekat yaitu perekat kanji, lem kayu dan polybag sebagai kontrol. Penelitian terhadap jatuhan air dan perendaman dalam air dilakukan untuk menguji kekuatan daya tahan dan daya rekat cocopot. Penelitian dampak penggunaan cocopot terhadap tanaman dilakukan dengan indikator tinggi dan jumlah daun tanaman cabai rawit. Hasil penelitian kekuatan daya tahan, daya rekat cocopot dan dampak cocopot terhadap tanaman menunjukkan bahwa cocopot dengan perekat kanji lebih baik daripada perekat lem kayu dan polybag. Kata Kunci: Cocopot, cocofiber, pot organik.
