dc.description.abstract | Limited but market demand for mustard greens continues to increase.
Fertilization is one way to increase production yields, but the continuous increase
in the price of chemical fertilizers is an obstacle for cultivating farmers. One effort
that can be made is the application of liquid organic fertilizer from Moringa leaves
and the composition of the planting media. The aim of this experiment was to
determine the effect of the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer from Moringa
leaves and the composition of the planting medium on the growth and yield of
pagoda mustard greens. The experiment was carried out using a factorial (4x3)
Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replications. The first factor is the
treatment of Moringa Leaf POC concentration (P) for each application which
consists of 4 levels, namely P0: No POC (control), P1: 70 ml/L P2: 80 ml/L, P3: 90
ml/L. The second factor is the treatment of the composition of the planting media
(M) which consists of 3 levels, namely M1: Soil + Sand + Bokashi (25%:25%50%),
M2: Soil + Sand + Bokashi (25%:50%25%), M3 : Soil + Sand + Bokashi
(50%:25%25%). The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, leaf
area, canopy area, leaf chlorophyll content, growth rate, fresh weight and dry weight
of the plant. Data analysis used ANOVA and continued with the Dunchan Multiple
Range Test (DMRT) with a confidence level of 95%. Based on the research results,
it shows that the interaction treatment between the concentration of liquid organic
fertilizer from Moringa leaves and the composition of the planting media has a very
significantly different effect on the variable number of leaves and is significantly
different on the variable fresh weight. The single factor POC concentration of
Moringa leaves had a very significantly different effect on the variables of number
of leaves, canopy area, fresh weight and dry weight of the plant, and had a
significantly different effect on the variables of plant height, leaf area, leaf
chlorophyll content and growth rate. The single factor of the composition of the
planting media has a very significantly different influence on the variables number
of leaves and fresh weight of the plant, and also has a significantly different
influence on the variable leaf chlorophyll. The combination of P3M1 treatment
(moringa leaf POC concentration of 90 ml/L and the composition of the planting
medium is soil + sand + bokashi (25%:25%:50%) is recommended because it has
the best influence on the growth and yield of pagoda mustard plants. | en_US |
