Pengaruh Pemberian Arang Sekam Padi Dan Npk Mutiara Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan HasilTanaman Okra (Abelmoschus eschulenthus L.)Pada Tanah Aluvial Di Polybag

Abstrak

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is an economically important vegetable crop, growing in the tropics and sub-tropical parts of the world. This plant is suitable for cultivation as a garden crop as well as on large commercial farms, okra production atthe level offarmers in WestKalimantan isstill lowwhile community consumption is still high, Many obstacles are overcome by farmers, one of which isthe lowlevel ofsoilfertility.Meanwhile,the constraints on the chemical properties of alluvialsoils have a lowpH. This study aimsto determine the effect of the interaction between the application ofrice husk charcoal and pearl NPK on the growth and yield of okra plants on alluvialsoilsin polybags.The researchwas carried out next to the Pangsuma Dormitory yard of the Jawi River, with a height of 1 (one) meter above sea level. This study was conducted from April 25, 2019 to July 6, 2019. Thisstudy was carried out using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial experimental pattern, namely: the first factor by applying Rice Husk Charcoal Fertilizer with code (a) consisting of three levels of treatment, the second factor by giving Pearl NPK pupk with code (n) consisting of 3 levels of treatment. Each treatmentwas repeated three times, each test consisting of 3 plantsamples,so the number of sample plants used in thisstudy was 3x3x3x3 = 81 total number of plants.The variables observed in thisstudy were: Plant height ( cm), Number ofLeavesPlanted (strands), Number ofFruits per Plant (fruit), Fruit Weight perPlant(grams), FruitLength(cm), Fruit Weight (grams). Based on the results of the research, the effect of giving rice husk charcoal and Pearl NPK has an unreal effect on the variables of plant height, number ofleaves, fruit length and fruit weight. Meanwhile, the provision of rice husk charcoal and pearl npk has a significant effect on the number offruits. The effect of the interaction of rice skam charcoal and PearlNPKgave high yields of plants and the number of leaves best on the a2n3 and a1n2 treatments with an average plant height of 90.67 cm and an average number of leaves of 27.22 strands. While the interaction of rice husk charcoal and Pearl NPK on the treatment of a3n3, a1n2, a3n1 resulted in the number of fruits 9.11 and the average fruit length of 15.61 cmwhile the fruitweightwas 164.04 grams.
