PENGUJIAN BEBERAPA KOMBINASI MEDIUM TANAM DENGAN PEMBERIAN BERBAGAI VOLUME AIR TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN PAKCHOY (Brassica chinensis L.) YANG DIBUDIDAYAKAN SECARA VERTIKULTUR
Abstract: Pakchoy plants (Brassica
chinensis L. ) is a plant that much in demand by the public because of high
nutritional content. The limited agricultural land currently caused pakchoy
cultivation declined, one of the ways that can be used to overcome this problem
is to utilize the limited land by verticulture manner. Nutrients and water is a
very important factor for plant growth of pakchoy, thus providing a variety of
growing media and the provision of water can improve plant growth and
production. Research has been conducted on the home screen Technical Services
Unit Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau from September to November
2014. The research conducted experimentally using Completely Randomized Design
(CRD) consist 2 factors: embedding medium and the volume of water. The first
factor is the growing medium consisting of three types of medium, M1=inceptisol
soil, M2= 75% Inceptisol and 25%
cocopeat, M3= 75% inceptisol and 25% ash sawdust and the second factor consists
of 3 volumes of water that V1=100 ml/day, V2=200 ml/day, V3= 300 ml/day.
Parameters measured were plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh
weight, weight suitable for consumption and root volume. The results showed
that the volume of water with planting medium ash sawdust effect on growth and
yield of pakchoy. Provision of water volume of 200 ml and the embedding medium
ash sawdust with vertikultur system gives the best effect on plant height,
number of leaves, leaf area, plant fresh weight, fresh weight of plants
suitable for consumption, and root volume.
