Aplikasi Ekoenzim Terhadap Pertumbuhan Tanaman Bayam Merah (Amaranthus Tricolor L.) Pada Sistem Hidroponik Rakit Apung

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effect of ecoenzyme concentration on the growth of red spinach plants in a hydroponic floating raft system conducted at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto. Ecoenzyme application treatment, namely: 0 ppm; 1000 ppm; 2000 ppm; and 3000 ppm with 6 replications arranged based on Completely Randomized Block Design (RAKL). Observations made consisted of: plant height, number of leaves, root length, leaf area, and root volume. The F test (ANOVA) at an error level of 5% was carried out to find out whether the treatment affected the observed variables. The LSD test at an error level of 5% is carried out if the F test is real. The results showed that the plant height of red spinach 2 MST was not affected by differences in ecoenzyme concentrations in the nutrient media; Plant height at 4 WAP with 1000 ppm ecoenzyme treatment was the highest and plant height at 6 WAP with 0 ppm and 1000 ppm ecoenzyme treatment was not different, while plant height growth with 2000 ppm and 3000 ppm treatment was lower. The number of leaves at 2 WAP, 4 WAP and 6 WAP, root length, leaf area, and root volume in all treatments of ecoenzyme concentration application showed no difference.
