Abstract

This study aims to explore the root growth patterns of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivated in a polybag system, and examine the implications for nutrient absorption efficiency and plant survival. The method used was a systematic literature review, with narrative analysis of recent studies in the last five years. Data were analyzed to identify the relationship between root architecture, growing medium, and nutrient absorption efficiency. The results showed that the polybag system, with its limited root growing space, promoted adaptation of root growth patterns, including an increase in lateral root density and a reduction in primary root length. Coconut fiber- and vermiculite-based growing media were shown to increase nutrient absorption capacity by up to 30%, while inoculation of rhizosphere microorganisms, such as mycorrhiza, increased phosphorus use efficiency by up to 25%. In addition, optimal root zone temperature plays an important role in supporting root metabolic activities. The conclusion of this study confirms that optimizing root growth patterns through growing media, temperature management, and utilization of microorganisms can significantly increase the productivity of cucumber plants. These findings provide a basis for developing more efficient and sustainable cultivation strategies in modern horticultural systems.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of goat manure and Mutiara NPK inorganic fertilizer on the vegetative growth, biomass, and yield of long bean (Vigna sinensis L.). The research was conducted using a factorial Randomized Group Design (RAK) consisting of two main factors. The first factor was the dose of goat manure with three levels: J1 (2 kg/plot), J2 (3 kg/plot), and J3 (4 kg/plot). The second factor was the application of NPK Mutiara fertilizer with four levels: P0 (control/no treatment), P1 (100 kg/ha or 24 g/plot), P2 (150 kg/ha or 36 g/plot), and P3 (200 kg/ha or 49 g/plot). Each experimental unit consisted of a uniform number of long bean plants to ensure reliable observations. The results indicated that both goat manure and NPK fertilizer significantly influenced vegetative growth parameters, including plant height, leaf number, and stem diameter, as well as yield components such as pod number, pod length, and total biomass. Furthermore, there was a significant interaction between goat manure and NPK application, where the optimal combination resulted in the highest biomass accumulation and pod yield. Specifically, the combination of the highest goat manure dose (J3) and moderate NPK dose (P2) provided the most favorable effect on long bean growth and productivity. These findings suggest that integrating organic and inorganic fertilizers can optimize nutrient availability, support sustainable crop production, and improve long bean yields. The study provides practical guidance for farmers seeking environmentally friendly fertilization strategies to enhance legume crop performance, while promoting soil fertility and sustainable agricultural practices.
