Pengaruh Pupuk Bokashi Dan NPK Grower Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Munn) Pada Tanah Aluvial Di Polybag

Abstrak

This study aims to determine the effect of the interaction of Bokashi and NPK Grower on the growth and yield of Okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Munn) on alluvial soil in polybags. This research was carried out within Panca Bhakti University. Jl. Kom. yos Sudarso (Jeruju) Pontianak City. This research will be conducted from June to October 2023. The variables observed were plant height (cm), number of planting leaves (strands), number of planting fruits (fruit), weight of planting fruit (grams), length of planting fruit (cm). Environmental observations include: average temperature (^oC), air humidity (%), and soil pH. The method used in this study is the Complete Random Design (RAL) pattern, a factorial pattern consisting of two factors. The first factor of Bokashi fertilizer is 3 levels of treatment: b1= 10 grams/polybag, b2= 30 grams/polybag, b3= 50 grams/polybag. The second factor is NPK Grower as many as 3 levels, namely: m1 = 2.4 grams / polybag, m2 = 3.6 grams / polybag, m3 = 4.8 grams / polybag. Each treatment is repeated 3 times and each repetition consists of 3 plants. Then the number of plants used is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81 plants. The results showed that the interaction between Bokashi fertilizer and NPK Grower had no real effect on the growth and yield of okra plants seen from all observation variables, namely plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruit per plant, and length of fruit per plant. Bokashi fertilizer treatment (factor b) has a single effect on plant height while the number of leaves, number of fruits, fruit weight, and fruit length have no real effect. Meanwhile, the treatment of NPK Grower fertilizer (factor m) has no real effect on all observation variables. The highest yield for the average variable plant height was found in the b3 treatment, which was 65.15 cm. Treatment of b1m2, b2m1 and b3m1 resulted in the same average number of highest leaves at 7.33 strands. The b1m1 treatment produced the highest average for the variable number of fruits per plant of 5.33 pieces. The b1m3 treatment produced the highest average for variable fruit weight per plant of 107.56 grams and the b3m1 treatment produced the highest average for the length of the fruit per plant of 49.78 cm
