The Effectiveness of Liquid Organic Fertilizer Banana Peel Kepok and Onion Peel to Plant Growth Ciplukan (Physalis Angulata L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) is a medicinal plant that grows wild in tropical climates that has many properties to cure various degenerative diseases. This plant is relatively rare because it is often considered a weed. Banana peels and shallots can be used as liquid organic fertilizer (POC). Liquid organic fertilizer has the advantage that the nutrients contained are more quickly and easily absorbed by plant roots. The purpose of this study was to determine the growth of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants through the provision of various doses of liquid organic fertilizer kepok banana peel and shallot skin and determine the best dose of liquid organic fertilizer in affecting the growth of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants. The method used in this research is an experiment consisting of independent variables, namely liquid organic fertilizer of kepok banana peel and shallot skin and the dependent variable is the growth of ciplukan plants (Physalis angulata L.). The sample used in this study was the Ciplukan plant (Physalis angulata L.). Sampling using group randomized design (RAK) technique. This experimental method uses 5 treatments and each treatment is repeated as many as 5 repetitions, thus there are 25 experimental units of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plant samples with concentrations of 0 ml, 15 ml, 25 ml, 35 ml, and 45 ml with the observation parameters measured are plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and leaf width. The results showed that liquid organic fertilizer of kepok banana peel and shallot skin had an effect on the growth of ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants. The concentration of 35 ml/polybag gives a better effect on plant height, stem diameter, and leaf width in ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants compared to the control treatment and other treatments.
