RESPON PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN MENTIMUN (Cucumis sativus L.) PADA PEMBERIAN PUPUK KANDANG KUDA DAN NPK MUTIARA

Abstract

The Bonto Parang Agricultural Technology Assessment Center (BPTP) installation in South Tolo Village, Kelara District, Jeneponto Regency was the location for this research. Between June and August 2022, this research was conducted. how horse manure and NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 fertilizer affect the growth and production of cucumber plants. The second and third objectives were to determine the effect of horse manure and NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 on the growth and production of cucumber plants. The experiment used in this research was a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with three replications, or 27 experiments, and looked at two factors, namely the first factor was horse manure P1:P2: 15 kg per plot P3: 30 kg per plot: 45 kg /plot, and NPK Mutiara 16:16:16 N1 is the second factor.N2: 0.15g/plotN3: 0.30g/plot:0.45g/plot. This research looked at the following parameters: plant height, number of leaves, flowering age, sample fruit weight, fruit weight in the plot, number of fruit, and fruit length. The results showed that the parameters of flowering age, number of fruit plants, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per plot, and fruit length were influenced by horse manure. All observation parameters are influenced by the interaction between the two factors at the same time.
