Abstract

Spinach was a vegetable that was rich in nutrients and has many health benefits. The high level of public consumption of spinach plants in line with population growth, it was necessary to increase production by using organic fertilizers. This research aimed to determine the effects of the composition of the growing media among soil, chicken manure, and oil palm empty fruit bunches fertilizer on the growth and yield of spinach. The research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments repeated three times and each treatment unit consisted of 5 plants so that the total number of all plants was 90 plants. The results of the analysis of diversity showed that the treatment of chicken manure and oil palm empty fruit bunches fertilizer had a very significant effect on the plant height, leaf area, plant fresh weight, crown fresh weight, root fresh weight and plant dry weight. The provision of chicken manure and oil palm empty fruit bunches fertilizer had a significant effect on the number of leaves, but had no significant effect on the level of greenness of the leaves and the root shoot ratio.  The results of the study showed that the soil treatment: chicken manure: oil palm empty fruit bunches fertilizer (1:2:2) provided the best results on the variables of plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, plant fresh weight, crown fresh weight, root fresh weight, and plant dry weight. The soil composition : chicken manure : oil palm empty fruit bunches fertilizer (1:2:2) was the best combination of planting media for the spinach growth and yield. Spinach cultivation using the composition of soil planting media, chicken manure, oil palm empty fruit bunches (1:2:2) could increase crop yields.

Abstract

Green eggplant was a vegetable which used for cooking ingredients and has rich nutrients. To increase the green eggplant productivity, it was necessary to improve the quality of growing media so the plant nutrition will be fulfilled. This study aimed to find out the best composition of growing media for the growth and yield of green eggplant. It used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments for the composition of the growing media. The results of the analysis of diversity showed that the application of rice husk charcoal and chicken manure had a very significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, flowering age, harvest age, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, and total fruit weight per plant. The results of the orthogonal contrast test showed that the green eggplant grown on soil media was very significantly different from the green eggplant grown on other growing media in all variables. The best results were obtained from the treatment of rice husk charcoal: chicken manure: soil (2:1:1) on the variables of plant height was 42.26 cm, flowering age was 22.33 days, total fruit weight per plant was 538.44 g, fruit diameter was 38.16 mm, and average weight per fruit was 81.66 g. The treatment of growing media composition using a combination of chicken manure and rice husk charcoal was better than the growing media with just one organic matter.
