Abstract

In addition to food crops, peatland also has potential for vegetable farming, such as Brazilian spinach. The aim of this study is to determine the most effective combination of banana stem biochar and banana stem compost doses for the growth and production of Brazilian spinach, as well as to analyze the feasibility of farming on peat soil. The research was conducted from October 2024 to March 2025 on land owned by farmers in Banyu Urip Village, Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The Complete Randomized Factorial Design (CRFD) method was used in the study and consisted of two factors. The first factor was the dose of banana stem biochar: 5, 10, 15 tons/ha. The second factor was the dose of banana stem compost: 10, 20, 30, 40 tons/ha. Based on the results, the application of a combination of biochar and banana stem compost interacted significantly in increasing plant height (cm) and number of leaves (pieces) at 3 WAP and 4 WAP, as well as the fresh weight of Brazilian spinach plants at harvest. The length and fresh weight of Brazilian spinach roots at harvest were influenced by the main factors of banana stem biochar and banana stem compost. The combination of banana stem biochar and compost did not significantly increase the pH of peat soil. Based on the farming analysis, Brazilian spinach is viable to cultivate and provides the highest profit by applying 15 tons ha⁻¹ of banana stem biochar combined with 30 tons ha⁻¹ of banana stem compost.
