Abstract

Fertilizer substitutes elements that have been used by plants. There are two available fertilizers, inorganic and organic fertilizers. Long-term use of inorganic fertilizers on a land negatively affects the crop and the soil fertility, hence, the organic one is a better choice. This study aims to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer of banana peels on the growth of red spinach and determine the best treatment for red spinach growth. This study used a Completely Randomized Design consisted of 2 factors (dosage of POC banana peel and length of fermentation time). Each has 4 levels, 3 replicates. The results of data analysis using ANOVA test show that the treatment of fermentation length and dosage of POC banana peel increase growth parameters of red spinach include plant height, leaf number, leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight, while the interaction treatment of fermentation length and dosage of POC banana peel affects almost all growth parameters, except for the leaf area parameter that shows no interaction. DMRT (α 5%) test shows that the best combination treatment for plant height and fresh weight is a dosage of 8 ml POC of banana peel that have been fermented for 15 days, and the best treatment for leaf number and dry weight is a dosage of 8 ml POC of banana peel that have been fermented for 10 days.

Abstract

Fertilizers are nutrient sources that have a role in determining the growth and production of a plant. Fertilization can be done using organik fertilizers and inorganik fertilizers. The use of combination of organik fertilizers and inorganik fertilizers is carried out to reduce the risk of damage to the soil structure due to the use of inorganik fertilizers continuously. This study aims to determine the effect of applying vermicompost and NPK fertilizers and it’s combinations and know the most effective number of doses of vermicompost and NPK fertilizers for the growth of green mustard plants. The design used is a complete randomized design of 2 factors, namely the dose of vermicompost with 5 levels of doses and doses of NPK fertilizer with 4 levels of each dose in 4 replications. The treatment of vermicompost consisted of 0 gr, 75 ml, 150 ml, 225 ml, and 300 ml. The treatment of NPK fertilizers consisted of 0 gr, 0.4 gr, 0.6 gr, and 0.8 gr/100 ml water. The data were analyzed using ANOVA test. The results showed that the treatment of vermicompost and NPK fertilizers and combination did not have a significant effect on the growth parameters of green mustard plants, namely plant’s height, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight and dry weight of plant.

Abstract

Kale land is a short-lived plant, containing the nutrients needed by the human body. The growth of kale land is influenced by various factors, one of which is the adequate supply of nutrients needed by plants. Fertilization is one of the efforts that can be done to ensure the availability of nutrients on agricultural land. Research has been carried out on the growth response of kale land due to the application of vermicompost and NPK fertilizers. The purpose of this research is to obtain information about (1) increased growth of  kale land due to the application of vermicompost, (2) increased growth of kale land due to application of NPK fertilizer, (3) increased growth of  kale land  due to the interaction of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer treatments. The research was carried out using an experimental method in the form of factorial arranged according to a completely randomized design. The first factor is vermicompost (C) with doses of 0 kg, 0.4 kg, 0.8 kg, 1.2 kg and 1.6 kg vermicompost per square meter of agricultural land. The second factor is the application of NPK fertilizer (P) at a dose of 0 g, 0.5 g, 1 g, 1.5 g per plant. Thus there were 20 treatment combinations and each combination was carried out with 3 replications.
