Concentration Response and Frequency of Biomi Liquid Organic Fertilizer Application for the Growth and Yield of Young Okra Plants (Abelmoschus esculentus L.)
Abstract
The study aims to determine the concentration and the appropriate frequency of biomi liquid organic fertilizer application for the growth and yield of okra plants. This experiment was a factorial experiment designed using a Randomized-group Design, which consisted of two treatments, comprising the concentration of liquid organic biomi fertilizer (C) and frequency of application (F). The results of the data analysis showed that the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer biomi (C) had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the maximum number of leaves per plant and had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on other variables. Meanwhile, the treatment of application frequency (F) and interaction (CxF) had no significant effect (P≥0.05) on all observed variables. The highest fresh weight of fruit per plant was found in the concentration of biomi liquid organic fertilizer 5 ml.l-1, which is 300.93 g, which increased by 4.55% compared with the lowest weight obtained at a concentration of 2.5 ml.l-1 is 287.83, although it is not significantly different from other concentrations. The frequency of application (3 times) is able to give the highest fresh weight of fruit per plant that is 299.14 g, which also experienced an increase of 1.99% and 3.69% when compared to the that of twice administration that is only 293.28 g and the lowest frequency of 4 times, was 288.48 g.References
