PENGARUH DOSIS DAN PEMBERIAN PUPUK MIKORIZA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN TERONG UNGU (Solanum melongena L).

Abstract

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L) is a type of vegetable that is important for health because it contains many nutrients that are important for the body. This study aims to determine the effect of the interaction between dose and time of application of mycorrhizal fertilizers on the growth and yield of eggplant plants in a randomized block design (RBD), arranged factorial with two factors. The first factor is the dose of mycorrhizal fertilizer with levels of D1 (10 grams), D2 (30 grams), D3 (50 grams). The second factor is the time of application of mycorrhizal fertilizers, namely W1 (2 weeks before planting), W2 (1 week before planting), W3 (1 week after planting) and W4 (2 weeks after planting). The results showed that the interaction between dosage and application of mycorrhizal fertilizers only occurred at the observation of the number of leaves at the 10th WAP. The administration of mycorrhizal fertilizer doses did not affect the height of purple eggplant plants but had a significant effect on the number of leaves and stem diameter of purple eggplant plants in several observations. The administration of mycorrhizal fertilizer doses also significantly affected the number of fruits per plant, wet weight and dry weight of purple eggplant. The time of application of mycorrhizal fertilizers significantly affected plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter of purple teromg plants in several observations. The time of application of mycorrhizal fertilizers did not affect the number of fruits per plant, wet weight and dry weight of purple eggplant
