Respon Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Sawi Pagoda (Brassica Narinosa) terhadap Pemberian Mol Daun Kelor

Abstract

The use of liquid fertilizers by utilizing local types of microorganisms (MOL) can be an alternative to supporting nutrient requirements in the soil, and it can be a solution to environmentally friendly agriculture and free from fertilizers and chemical pesticides. Moringa leaves contain chemical compounds such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and sufur so that the leaves of Moringa can be used to make liquid organic fertilizer. In this study, the effect of MOL leaves on the growth and yield of mustard pagoda plants was evaluated. The research was design by factorial randomized block design, with two factors The first factor was dosage of MOL Moringa leaves: 0, 50, 60, and 70 mL L-1. The second was frequency of MOL Moringa leaves application: periodically every 5, 6, and 7 days, Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 36 experimental plots. To find out the response observed to the given treatment, Variance Analysis Test (ANOVA) was carried out and if it showed a significant difference, continued with Duncan's Multiple Ranged Test. The results showed the frequency and concentration of MOL leaves of Moringa leaves could increase plant height in the treatment frequency of 6 days given 70 ml / l MOL Moringa leaves which was 4,89 cm and the frequency, concentration of MOL leaves of moringa and their interactions had not been able to increase the number of leaves and the fresh weight of the pagoda mustard plant.
