Growth and Production Response of pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) to Natural Growth Regulator Application
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 01
Abstract
Pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) is a type of vegetable plant that belongs to the Brassicaceae family which has high economic value, but its production is still low so that it cannot meet market demand. To meet market demand, pakcoy plant production needs to be optimized, one of which is by using natural growth regulators. Natural ingredients that can be utilized as growth regulators include bean sprouts and coconut water. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the effect of natural growth regulators on the growth and production of pakcoy plants, (2) to obtain the best type of natural growth regulators on the growth and production of pakcoy plants. This research was conducted at Kandang Lamo Nursery from June to October 2023. This study used a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 5 replications, namely A. Control (without growth regulator treatment), B. Bean sprout extract, C. Coconut water. The parameters observed were plant height (cm), number of leaves (strands), root length (cm) and plant wet weight (g). Based on the observations, the plants treated with coconut water growth regulator produced higher plant height, number of leaves, root length, and plant wet weight (g) compared to the other treatments. The lowest growth and production were shown by plants that were not treated with growth regulators (control).
