Abstract

This research was carried out to determine how liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) produced from agricultural waste influences watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) production among members of the Mangele Farmers' Group in Teluk Belukar Village. A field trial was set up to contrast crops grown without any LOF input, serving as the control, against crops given LOF derived from farm waste. Fruit diameter and fruit weight recorded at harvest time became the two indicators tracked throughout the trial. All data were processed through descriptive statistics, with mean values calculated for each indicator and arranged into tables to allow the two groups to be compared side by side. Findings revealed that watermelon output responded positively to LOF application: fruits under the LOF treatment averaged 58.0 cm across, compared with only 34.0 cm for the control group, while average fruit mass reached 3.68 kg under LOF versus 2.24 kg without it. Such outcomes suggest that fertilizer produced from agricultural residue can supply nutrients more efficiently, which in turn assists the fruit-forming and fruit-enlarging stages of growth. Consequently, LOF sourced from farm waste offers a promising, environmentally sound fertilization option for boosting watermelon yields while simultaneously putting agricultural waste to productive, sustainable use.
