PENGARUH TAKARAN KOMPOS DAN KONSENTRASI PUPUK ORGANIC CAIR (POC) TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN TERONG UNGU (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

Effect of compost dose and concentration of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) on growth and production of purple eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) in Padang Lampe, Pangkajenne Regency. Supervised by Aminah and Andi Ralle. This research was compiled using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) which consisted of two factors, namely the first factor was the provision of compost which consisted of 3 levels, namely K1 : 5 tons/ha (1kg/bed), K2: 10 tons/ha (2 kg/ha). bed), K3 : 15 ton/ha (3 kg/bed). The second factor is the dosage of liquid organic fertilizer (NASA) with 3 levels, namely C1: 4 cc/liter of water, C2: 6 cc/liter of water, C3: 8 cc/liter of water. Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of fruit planted and weight of fruit beds. Treatment with a concentration of 8 cc/liter of water with 15 tons/ha (3 kg/bed) gave the best effect on the average plant height, number of leaves, number of fruit per tree and weight of fruit beds, the application of the right concentration can increase the growth and production of eggplant plants.
