Efektivitas Penambahan Pupuk Kandang Kambing dan NPK Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Terung (Solanum melongena L.)

Introduction

Efektivitas penambahan pupuk kandang kambing dan npk terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil terung (solanum melongena l.). Menganalisis efektivitas pupuk kandang kambing & NPK terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil terung. Dosis optimal 1080gr pupuk kandang & 20gr NPK mutiara untuk hasil tertinggi.

Abstract

Produksi pertanian dapat meningkat dengan  bercocok tanam. Teknik budidaya terung  efektif menggunakan  pupuk yang efisien dapat meningkatkan produksi terung. Penelitian mempunyai tujuan  menganalisa interaksi penggunaan pupuk kandang kambing dan NPK terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman terung. Riset menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok faktorial. Faktor pertama adalah pupuk kandang kambing (P) ada tiga level, yaitu  360gr/tanaman, 720gr/tanaman, dan 1080gr/tanaman. Faktor kedua yaitu NPK Mutiara (N) terdiri  tiga level, yaitu 10gr/tanaman, 20gr/tanaman, 30gr/tanaman sehingga diperoleh 9 kombinasi perlakuan.  Data pengamatan dianalisis menggunakan Anova. Hasil analisa data disimpulkan pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman  dan jumlah daun terjadi interaksi pada 35 hari setelah tanam, hasil tertinggi diperoleh perlakuan P3N2 yaitu tinggi tanaman 62,73cm dan jumlah daun 7 helai pada dosis pupuk kandang kambing 1080 gr/tanaman dengan pupuk NPK mutiara 20 gr/tanaman. Pada pengukuran berat buah, panjang buah, jumlah buah tidak terjadi interaksi, berpengaruh nyata pada perlakuan tunggal dengan  rata rata berat tertinggi 157,9 gram, panjang buah tertinggi 20,28 Cm dan jumlah buah terbanyak dengan rata-rata 2,2 buah/ tanaman pada pemberian pupuk kandang kambing 1080 gram/tanaman.

Review

This study effectively addresses a pertinent issue in agricultural production: enhancing eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) yield through optimized fertilization practices. The title clearly indicates the focus on the "Effectiveness of Goat Manure and NPK Addition on Growth and Yield of Eggplant." The abstract outlines a clear objective to analyze the interaction and individual effects of goat manure and NPK fertilizers. The chosen methodology, a Factorial Randomized Block Design, is appropriate for investigating such treatment combinations and their impacts, providing a robust framework for the experimental setup. The research design involved three levels of goat manure (360, 720, and 1080 gr/plant) and three levels of NPK Mutiara (10, 20, and 30 gr/plant), resulting in nine treatment combinations. Key findings indicate a significant interaction between goat manure and NPK for early growth parameters, specifically plant height and leaf count at 35 days after planting, with the P3N2 combination (1080 gr/plant goat manure and 20 gr/plant NPK) yielding the highest values (62.73 cm height, 7 leaves). Interestingly, for yield components like fruit weight, fruit length, and number of fruits, no significant interaction was observed. However, the highest level of goat manure (1080 gr/plant) alone significantly improved these parameters, leading to the heaviest fruits (157.9 grams), longest fruits (20.28 cm), and most fruits per plant (2.2 fruits). These results provide valuable practical recommendations for farmers regarding eggplant fertilization. While the abstract presents concise and informative results, a full paper would benefit from a more detailed discussion regarding the biological or chemical mechanisms underlying the observed interactions (or lack thereof for fruit parameters). Elucidating why high goat manure significantly boosted fruit yield components independently, but only interacted with NPK for vegetative growth, would enrich the scientific understanding. Furthermore, comparing these findings with existing literature and discussing potential economic implications or long-term soil health benefits associated with the optimal treatments would broaden the study's impact. Overall, the abstract demonstrates a well-executed experiment with clear, actionable findings, laying a strong foundation for a comprehensive journal publication.
