PENGARUH MEDIA TANAM GRANUL DARI TANAH LIAT TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SAYURAN HIDROPONIK SISTEM SUMBU
ABSTRACT: This study
aimed to determine
the effect of
granule growing media
on growth and
yield of vegetables
in a hidroponic wick
system. The design
of this study
used Randomized Complete
Block (RCB) with
factorial arrangement and three
replications. The first
factor consisted of
three levels :
kale (S1), spinach
(S2), and mustard (S3). The second factor were the size of the
granules with four levels : 12 mm (M1), 6 mm (M2), 4 mm (M3) and
husk char (M4)
as a control.
Each plant was
grown in a
wicked pot. There
were 12 treatment combinations, with
three replicates. Parameters
observed were physical
properties of the
media, evapotranspiration, number
of leaves, growth, biomass,
and yield. Data was analyzed using the
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) 1% and 5% levels of significance, followed
by LSD comparision. Results showed that
there wasno significant interaction between media and types of plant. However; sizes of media significantly
affected the evapotranspiration, growth, biomass, and yield.
