PENGARUH PEMBERIAN PUPUK BOKASHI KOTORAN SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN TERUNG (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of cow dung bokashi fertilizer on the growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). This study used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of one treatment factor with 6 treatment combinations and 4 replications, so there were 24 treatment combinations. Treatment concentration of bokashi fertilizer consisted of T0 (without bokashi fertilizer), T1 (bokashi fertilizer 1000 g/polybag), T2 (bokashi fertilizer 1200 g/polybag) and T3 (bokashi fertilizer 1400 g/polybag). Parameters observed in this study included plant height (cm), number of branches (branches), flowering age (days), fruiting age (days), number of fruit planted (fruit), weight of fruit planted (g), fruit production per hectare ( tons). The results showed that T3 treatment (bokashi fertilizer 1400 g/polybag) had the best effect on plant height, number of branches, flowering age, fruiting age, number of fruit planted, fruit weight per plant, and fruit production per hectare.
