RESPON PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL BEBERAPA KULTIVAR TERONG (Solanum melongena L.) SERTA PEMBERIAN PUPUK CAIR.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is a vegetable plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family. Along with population growth, demand for eggplant also continues to increase. However, the increase in demand was not accompanied by an increase in the amount of production. One of them is due to the low productivity of eggplant. According to the BPS of East Java Province (2016), Indonesian eggplant production in 2016 of 100.00 tons / ha decreased from previous years. This is due to lack of optimal maintenance of eggplant in terms of fertilization. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Nutrient G, N and GN liquid fertilizer on the growth and yield of Kania F1, Turangga F1 and Yumi F1 cultivar eggplant plants. This study used a nested randomized block design with 2 treatment factors repeated 3 times to produce 12 treatment combinations. The data obtained were analyzed using the F test (ANOVA) to find out the diversity of treatments, if there were significant differences followed by BNJ test with a level of 5%, the data was presented in table form.The results obtained from this study are the best plant height parameters in TIP3 (Nutrient G + Turangga F1), the number of leaves on P3T1 (Nutrient GN + Kania F1), the amount of interest on P3T3 (Nutrient GN + Turangga F1), the amount of interest so fruit in P2T2 (Nutrient N + Yumi F1), the amount of fruit on P2T2 (Nutrient N + Yumi F1), the total weight per plant on P3T1 (Nutrient GN + Kania F1). Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the treatment of liquid fertilizer Nutrient gives different results for each parameter
