Aplikasi Hidroponik NFT pada Budidaya Pakcoy (Brassica rapa chinensis)
Abstract: Nutrient Film
Technique (NFT) is one of hydroponic system with the roots of plants put on a
thin layer of water that resembles a film. Circulate the water and nutrients
needed by plants. Movement of nutrient solution circulation but because of the
encouragement of the pump, is also caused by the slope of the gutter pipes are
used. Gutter pipe slope is getting steeper can cause plants to be difficult to
stand up straight and nutrients are absorbed a bit because the flow is too
fast. The slope of the gutter pipe that is too small can cause nutrient flow
easily clogged because the flow is too slow. Therefore, in this study the slope
of the NFT gutter pipe used was 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. The aim is to determine the
effect of NFT gutter pipe slope on the growth and yield of pakcoy. Analysis
used to determine whether there is difference in the growth and production of
different crops on slopes is ANOVA (Analysis of variances) in one direction
because there is only one independent variable, followed by a test of Honestly
Significant Difference (HSD) at 5% significance level. The results show that
there are differences in average growth and crop production pakcoy using different
NFT gutter pipe. NFT gutter pipe slope the best effect on plant growth (number
of leaves, plant height, and root length) and pakcoy crop production (weight of
the plant) is on a slope of 5%, with the results for each crop is the average
number of leaf 9.1 strands, the average plant height 18.4 cm, the average
length of the roots of plants 41.5 cm, and an average weight of 34.49 g plant.
