Effect of Biotogrow Liquid Fertilizer Dosage and Interval on Green Eggplant (Solanum Melongena L.) Growth and Yield

Dewi Ratna Nurhayati, Wahyu Agus Aryanto

Abstract

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an annual horticultural plant in the Solanaceae family and the world's fourth most important vegetable crop. In the period 2017-2020, eggplant production fluctuated due to the use of cultivation land, which is still a byproduct, as well as the application of inorganic fertilizers that were not balanced by the provision of organic fertilizers. The application of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) at appropriate concentration and time interval can be a solution for supplying nutrients to plants. This study aimed to determine the effect of Biotogrow liquid fertilizer dosage and interval on green eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) growth and yield. This study was conducted at the Research and Collection Gardens of Slamet Riyadi University, Surakarta, which is located on Jl. Jaya Wijaya No. 384, Kadipiro, Banjarsari, Surakarta, from November 2021 to March 2022. The findings showed that the administration of Biotogrow liquid fertilizer at a dose of 2 ml/polybag (D2) and interval of 10 days of fertilizer application (I2), gave significantly different results on growth and yield of green eggplant plants, on the parameters of the number of flowers (7.89), the number of fruits (13.22 fruit), fruit length (23.22 cm), fruit weight (195.92 gr), wet stover (133.08 gr), but not significantly different from the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, leaf color, and dry bran.
