Efektivitas Pemberian Beberapa Media Tanam dan Pupuk Organik Cair F2 Ecoenzim pada Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)

Abstract

Okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) are often known as bendi beans or "Lady's Finger" because of their long cylindrical pattern with pointed tips resembling a woman's fingers. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the provision of several plant media and liquid organic fertilizer f2 ecoenzyme on the growth and production of okra plants. This research method uses a factorial randomized block design (RAK) with two factors. The first factor is the provision of several plant media with 4 levels, namely M0 = Topsoil, M1= Topsoil + Cocopeat (1: 1), M2 = Topsoil + Rice Husk Charcoal (1: 1), M3 = Topsoil + Sand (1: 1). The second factor is the provision of organic fertilizer derived from f2 ecoenzyme with 4 levels, namely S0 = Ecoenzyme, S1

= Ecoenzyme + Pineapple Peel 500ml, S2 = Ecoenzyme + Eggshell 500ml, S3 = Ecoenzyme + Banana Peel 500ml. The observation parameters of this study were plant height, stem diameter, number of fruits per plot, number of fruits per sample, fruit weight per plot, fruit weight per sample. The results of this study showed that the treatment of topsoil + cocopeat media (1: 1) gave the best results on the parameters of plant height, fruit weight per plot, and fruit weight per sample, Treatment of organic fertilizer derived from F2 ecoenzyme Pure ecoenzyme treatment (S0) gave the best results on the parameters of stem diameter, fruit weight per plot, and fruit weight per sample. Meanwhile, the treatment of ecoenzyme + banana peel (S3) gave the best results on the parameters of plant height, and ecoenzyme + pineapple peel (S1) gave the best results on the number of fruits per plot and the number of fruits per sample.
