Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Kangkung Darat(Ipomeareptans Poir) Diberi Trichokompos Jerami Padi
Abstract: Kang kong
(Ipomeareptans Poir) is popular and tasty vegetable mainly grown in tropical
asia. In this experiment, we tried to apply rice hay trichocompost to look at
if the trichocompost could be utilized for fertilizer in cultivating kang
kong. The research was conducted at the
Agriculture Experiment Station, University of Riau from June to July 2013. Five
rates of trichocompost was applied and arranged in a randomized block design
with four replications. Two seed of kang kong were planted each planting hill
with planting space of 20 cm x 30 cm in. Plot size was 1,0 m in length and 1,5
m wide.Observations were made for plant height, shoot-root ratio, number of
leaves per plant, leaf canopy area, and fresh weight per plant. The results
showed that rice hay trichokompost improved plant growth, mainly in plant
height, number of leaves and increased production as represented by vegetable
fresh weight. However,leaf canopy area and shoot-root ratio showed no
significant differences among the rate of trichokompost. The research suggested
that rice hay trichocompost may be applied to the rate of 12 tons / ha in order
to obtain better growth and higher fresh vegetable yield.
