Pengaruh Waktu Pemberian Pupuk Kandang Terhadap Pertumbuhan Vegetatif Tabulampot Jambu Air MDH

Abstract

MDH water apple is one type of fruit plant that can be cultivated in tabulampot. Facts in the field indicate that planting it in tabulampot makes the plant bear fruit faster. Another factor that determines the production of MDH guava is fertilization, including fertilizing with organic matter. Besides giving organic fertilizer, the right time when applying fertilizer is also important in determining the growth of MDH guava. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the time of manure on the vegetative growth of MDH guava. This research was conducted in the green house in March to August 2018. This study used a randomized block design with 9 repetitions and 3 treatments, namely: (1) fertilization at the beginning of planting, (2) fertilization in the 1st and 3rd month after planting, and (3) fertilization in the 1st and 5th months after planting. Data were analyzed using ANOVA test. The results of this study indicate that manure has a significant effect on the number of leaf parameters, but does not significantly affect plant height, number of primary branches, and number of secondary branches. The best growth results were obtained at two time of fertilizing in MDH water apple
