Efektifitas Pemberian Pupuk Organik Kandang Kambing dan Pupuk Organik Cair Urin Kambing Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Bayam Merah (Althernanthera amoena Voss): Effectiveness of Goat Manure and Goat Urine Fertilizer to Growth and Production of Red Spinach (Althernanthera amoena Voss)

Red spinach plants are used as a food source of protein, especially for developing countries, so that the growth and yield of red spinach increases, it is necessary to add additional nutrient input from organic fertilizers such as goat manure and goat urine. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of goat manure organic fertilizer and the effect of the interaction of goat urine liquid fertilizer on red spinach plants. The research was carried out from March 2018 to April 2018 in Sambirejo Village, Jalan Sabar Jaya, Banyuasin 1 District, South Sumatra. This study was arranged using a factorial randomized block design (RAKF) with three replications. The factors used were goat manure organic fertilizer consisting of three levels, namely K0, K1, K2 and goat urine liquid organic fertilizer consisting of five levels, namely U0, U1, U2, U3, U4. The parameters observed consisted of number of leaves (strands), root length (cm), plant height (cm), plant dry weight (g), plant fresh weight (g). The application of organic fertilizer only affects goat manure but does not affect the production of red spinach plants, it’s just that in the K2U2 treatment (10 shows the best production on the number of leaves and weight of wet bark.   Key words : Goat Manure Fertilizer, Goat Urine Fertilizer, Red SpinachTanaman bayam merah digunakan sebagai bahan pangan sumber protein, terutama untuk negara-negara berkembang, agar pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman bayam merah meningkat maka perlu dilakukan tambahan masukan unsur hara yang berasal dari pupuk organik seperti pupuk kandang kambing dan urin kambing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas pemberian pupuk organik kandang kambing serta pengaruh interaksi pupuk cair urin kambing pada tanaman bayam merah. Pelaksanaan penelitian mulai bulan Maret 2018 sampai bulan April 2018 di Desa Sambirejo Jalan Sabar Jaya Kecamatan Banyuasin 1, Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian ini disusun menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok Faktorial (RAKF) dengan tiga ulangan. Faktor yang digunakan adalah pupuk organik kandang kambing yang terdiri dari tiga taraf yaitu K0= kontrol, K1=5 ton.ha-1, K2=10 ton.ha-1, serta pupuk organik cair urin kambing yang terdiri dari lima taraf yaitu U0= kontrol, U1= 50 ml. 100ml-1, U2=100 ml. 100ml-1, U3=150 ml.100ml-1, U4= 200ml.100ml-1. Parameter yang diamati terdiri atas Jumlah daun (helai), panjang akar (cm), tinggi tanaman (cm), berat kering tanaman (g), berat segar tanaman (g). Pemberian pupuk organik hanya berpengaruh pada pupuk kandang kambing namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap produksi tanaman bayam merah, hanya saja pada perlakuan K2U2 (10 menunjukkan produksi terbaik terhadap jumlah daun dan berat berangkas basah.
