Abstract

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a plant whose leaves are consumed. The consumers of lettuce plants ranged from the lower to the upper-class societies. Fertilization is one of the technologies that need special care to increase the quality and quantity of the plant’s yields. Cow urine is one of the growth regulators that can be used. Not only it is easier to obtain, but also simpler the apply. Bagasse is a waste material that is usually thrown into an open place without further process, which can cause environmental disturbance and bad smell. This research aims to determine the effect of bagasse compost dosage and concentration of cow urine liquid on the growth and yield of lettuce plants. This research used a factorial randomized block design (RCBD) consisting of two factors. First, bassage compost (T) consisting of 0 g/polybag, 100 g/polybag, and 200 g/polybag, and second, cow urine liquid organic fertilizer (C) which also with three levels consisting of 0 ml/liter, 300 ml/liter, and 400 ml/liter of water. The results shows that 100 grams/polybag of bagasse compost and 300 ml/liter of cow urine liquid organic fertilizer each improve lettuce growth. Combined, they significantly enhance plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight.

Abstract

Vegetables are usually classified by the part of the plant used for food, which is an essential source of many nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, dietary fiber, and folate. Leafy greens are an abundant source of vitamin A and iron. The lack of fertile agricultural land has led to a decrease in the area of agricultural land, resulting in a decrease in the well-being of farmers. However, plant cultivation using the hydroponic method can be applied to solve this problem. Hydroponics is a method of growing crops without soil. Hydroponic farming is clean, simple, and efficient. This research aims to determine the effect of planting media type and AB mix concentration on hydroponic bok choy. The research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and three replications, resulting in 27 experimental units. The first factor was planting media (M): Rockwool (M1), husk charcoal (M2), and sand (M3). The second factor was AB mix concentrations: 3 ml/l (K1), five ml/l (K2), and seven ml/l (K3).
