| dc.description.abstract | The raising up of consumer request about rhizome ginger every year can
not be fulfiled yet by ginger production in Indonesia. This condition happened
because of the limited ginger field area, conventional system to plant ginger, the
lower of organic material in the soil , the use of expensive organic fertilizer often
increase ginger price production and gave bad effect to the environment and
healthiness. Applying nonconventional plantation using polybag system, giving
organic fertilizer, and using organic medium are hoped can increase gingers
product and quality.
The objective of this research is to know the effect of organic fertilizer
concentration to the growth and the result of three rhizome ginger variety. The
research had be done in August 2010 until January 2011 in agrotechnopark
agriculture faculty, Jember University. The trial was arranged factorial 3 x 4 using
system group randomly with three times trial. The first factor was ginger variety
divided to three kinds namely V1 (elephant ginger), V2 (emprit ginger), V3 ( red
ginger) the second factor fertilizer concentration divided into four namely
K0(control), K1(5 gram/liter), K2(10 gram/liter), K3(15 gram/liter).
The result from this research was variety factor gave significant effect to
the plant high, total sprout, total brussels sprout, weight wet plant, weight dry
plant, weight rhizome, volume rhizome, containment of chlorophyll, gave
significant effect to ILD and gave not significant effect to the total leaves. Better
result from nine parameters was on bird ginger. Organic fertilizer concentration
gave not significant effect to all parameters. In addition kinds of interaction ginger
variety and organic fertilizer concentration gave not significant effect to all
parameters that had been observed. | en_US |
