PENGARUH PEMBERIAN JENIS DAN KONSENTRASI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN BAYAM (Amaranthus tricolor L. )

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of POC species on growth and yield of spinach plants, determine the effect of the best POC concentration on growth and yield of spinach plants and determine the interaction of types and concentrations of POC on growth and yield of spinach plants. This research was carried out in Barru, Sumpang Binangae Village, Barru District, Barru Regency from July to September 2021. Randomized Block Design (RAK) with two factors, namely the type of POC and the concentration of POC. The research treatment used the types of Household Waste POC and NASA POC with concentrations consisting of 3 levels, namely, 50 ml/l water, 100 ml/l water, and 150 ml/l water. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and 5% BNJ test. Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, root weight, wet weight, consumption weight, bed production and production per hectare. The results showed that household waste POC had a good effect on growth and production of spinach plants and POC concentration of 50 ml/l water had a good effect on growth and production of spinach plants. The interaction between household effluent POC and 50ml/l water POC concentration had a positive effect on the growth and production of spinach plants. The yield of spinach in this study was 8.3 tons/ha.
