Pengaruh Pemberian Pupuk Hijau Lamtoro Dan Em4 (Effective Mikroorganisme 4) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Produksi Tanaman Terung Pondoh (Solanum Melongena L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of applying lamtoro green fertilizer and EM4 (Effective microorganism 4) to the growth and production of pondoh eggplant plants (Solanum melongena L.). This study used a factorial randomized block design with 2 treatment factors, namely lamtoro green fertilizer with 4 levels, namely H0 (Control), H1 (25 g/polybag), H2 (37.5 g/polybag), H3 (50 g/polybag) and EM4 Fertilizer with 3 levels, namely E1 (5 cc/polybag), E2 (10 cc/polybag) and E3 (15 cc/polybag). The parameters measured were plant height, number of leaves, age of flowering, number of fruits per plant, weight of fruit per plant, number of fruits per plot, weight of fruit per plot.

The results showed the treatment of Lamtoro green fertilizer on plant height and number of leaves had a significant effect, but the administration of EM4 fertilizer had no significant effect on all observations of flowering age, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per plant, number of fruits per plot, fruit weight per plot. This is because there is no interaction between the two, namely lamtoro green fertilizer and EM4 fertilizer on all parameters
