UPAYA PENINGKATAN HASIL MENTIMUN SECARA ORGANIK DENGAN SISTEM TASALAMPOT
Abstract: Utilization of
organic material in crop farming is one of the methods to exploit the local
wisdom in agricultural practice. The research was conducted from June to
September 2012 in the research farm, State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif
Kasim Riau. The objective of the research was to investigate the effects of
organic materials and crop density ? in growth and yield on cucumber.
Randomized block design with 2 factors and 4 replications was employed in this
study. The first factor consists of three levels organic fertilizer treatments
i.e. no fertilizer, poultry manure, and compost of oil palm empty bunch. Second
factor comprises of three levels of crop density i.e. 1, 2, and 3 plants per
pot).. The results showed that there was significant increase on growth and
yield on cucumber with poultry manure treatment compare to that of with compost
of oil palm empty bunch. Increasing crop density ? improves the number and
weight of cucumber yield per pot, even though, some parameters, i.e. number of
leaves, stem diameter, crop dry weight, productive number of branches, cucumber
size and cucumber weight per plant were significantly decreased.
