PENGARUH PEMANGKASAN CABANG UTAMA DAN PEMBERIAN PUPUK PELENGKAP CAIR ORGANIK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN TOMAT (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.)
Abstract: This study aims to
look the effect of main branch pruning, giving the liquid organic fertilizer
complementary and interaction and get the best treatment on growth and yield of
Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.). This research was conducted
experimentally by using Completely Randomized Design with two factors and three
replications. The first factor was the main branch pruning consists of two
levels (P0= no pruning, P1= pruning a main branch). The second factor was the
concentration of liquid organic fertilizer complementary, which consists of
five levels (K0= 0 ml/l water, K1= 1 ml/l water, K2= 2 ml/l water, K3= 3 ml/l water, K4= 4
ml/l water). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and mean separations
with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at the 5% level. The results showed that
the main branch pruning has significantly to number of flowers. Giving the
liquid organic fertilizer complementary has significantly to the age of first
harvest. The interaction of the main branch pruning and giving the liquid
organic fertilizer complementary has not significantly to all parameters. The
main branch pruning treatment and giving the liquid organic fertilizer
complementary 2 ml/l water showed plant height, fruit number per plant, weight
per fruit, fruit diameter, total fruit weight per plant tend highest.
Keywords: tomato plant, the
main branch pruning, liquid organic fertilizer complementary, growth and yield
