Pengaruh Pupuk Organik Cair Dan Kotoran Ayam Sebagai Sumber Nutrisi Tanaman Bayam Merah (Amaranthus tricolor L.) Pada Sistem Hidroponik Sumbu

Abstract

Hydroponics is a solution to increase production due to farmers' increasingly narrow land area. The success of hydroponics depends on the nutrient sources used. A good nutrient source must be able to provide nutrients as quickly as possible and come into contact with the roots, so they are easily absorbed. The aim of the research is to find out the best source of nutrition for the growth of red spinach in the wick hydroponic system. The research method used was a non-factorial randomized block design with 6 nutrient source treatments, namely: P0 (100% AB mix fertilizer (control), P1 (100% liquid organic fertilizer nasa ), P2 (100% liquid organic fertilizer chicken manure), P3 ( 50% AB mix fertilizer + 50% liquid organic fertilizer nasa), P4 (50% AB mix fertilizer + 50% liquid organic fertilizer chicken manure) and P5 (50% liquid organic fertilizer nasa + 50% liquid organic fertilizer chicken manure). experiment and each consisted of 9 plants. The results obtained, the source of nutrition had a real and very significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, root length and total weight of red spinach plants. There were 3 best sources of nutrition and ordered from best to least The good ones are P0 (100% AB mix fertilizer), P3 (50% AB mix + 50% liquid organic fertilizer nasa)  and P4 (50% AB mix + 50% liquid organic fertilizer chicken manure).
