Pengaruh Pupuk Bekas Kotoran Cacing dan Bokashi Arang Sekam Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Tanaman Terung Ungu (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the treatment of worm manure and rice husk charcoal bokashi on the growth and yield of purple eggplant plants. This research was conducted in Gadingrejo Village, Umbulrejo District, Jember Regency, East Java. With an altitude of 400 meters above sea level, starting from November 2024 to January 2025. This research was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of 2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor is the treatment of Worm Manure Fertilizer (C) consisting of 4 levels, namely C0 = no treatment, C1 = 20 g / polybag, C2 = 40 g / polybag, C3 = 60 g / polybag, and the second factor is Bokashi rice husk charcoal (B) consisting of 4 levels, namely B0 = no treatment, B1 = 100 g / polybag, B2 = 200 g / polybag, B3 = 300 g / polybag. The parameters observed were plant height, stem diameter, number of flowers, number of branches, fruit diameter, fruit length, number of fruits, and fruit weight. The collected data were analyzed using variance analysis (Anova), if significantly different, continued with the Duncan test at the 5% level using Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the treatment of ex-worm manure C1 = 20 g / polybag gave the best effect on the stem diameter parameter, while C0 = without vermicompost fertilizer treatment gave the best effect on the fruit weight parameter, while bokashi rice husk charcoal B1 = 100 g / polybag gave the best effect on the stem diameter. The interaction between ex-worm manure fertilizer and Bokashi rice husk charcoal C1B1 = vermicompost fertilizer 20 g / polybag and bokashi rice husk charcoal 100 g / plant gave the best effect on the stem diameter parameter and C0B1 = without vermicompost fertilizer and bokashi rice husk charcoal 100 g / plant gave the best effect on the fruit weight parameter.
