Aplikasi Pupuk Bokashi Padat Berbahan Dasar Berbeda terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Krokot (Portulaca oleracea L.)

The purpose of this study was to see the application of solid bokashi fertilizer with different ingredients on the growth and production of purslane (Portulaca oleracea. L.). This research was conducted on 02nd March 2020, located on the agricultural land of the University of Timor. The method used in this research is a field experiment that applies a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replications so that there are 16 experimental units. The treatments tested consisted of R0: Bokashi without fertilizer (control), R1: Bokashi Fertilizer made from Chicken Excreta, R2: Bokashi Fertilizer Made from Cow Feces, R3: Bokashi Fertilizer Made from Goat Feces. The variables observed in this study were stem diameter (mm), number of tillers, spreading length (cm), fresh plant weight (grams) and plant dry weight (grams). The results showed that offering solid bokashi made from cow more significantly supported the growth and production of purslane (Portulaca oleracea. L.). Of the four (4) treatments, namely R0, R1, R2 and R3, in general the application of solid bokashi fertilizer made from cow feces (R2) significantly supported the growth and production of purslane (Portulaca oleracea. L.). In the stem diameter parameter, R2 was 0.39, the length of the spread, R2 was 8.53, the number of tillers, R2 was 2.11, plant fresh weight, R2 was 3.17, while on the plant dry weight parameter, R2 had no significant effect, which is only 0.40. It can be concluded that giving bokashi made from chicken and cow feces is very active in increasing the value of growth and production of purslane plant, because it contains nutrients needed for plant growth.Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui aplikasi pupuk bokashi padat berbahan dasar berbeda terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman krokot (Portulaca oleracea. L.). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 2 Maret 2020, bertempat di lahan Pertanian Universitas Timor. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan percobaan lapangan yang menerapkan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan sehingga terdapat 16unit satuan percobaan. Perlakuan yang diuji terdiri dari R0: Tanpa pupuk Bokashi (kontrol), R1: Pupuk Bokashi Berbahan dasar Ekskreta Ayam, R2: Pupuk Bokashi Berbahan dasar Feses Sapi dan R3: Pupuk Bokashi Berbahan dasar Feses Kambing. Adapun variabel yang diamati dalam penelitian ini adalah panjang penyebaran (cm), diameter batang (mm), jumlah anakan, berat segar tanaman (gram) dan berat kering tanaman(gram). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian bokashi padat berbahan dasar ekskreta ayam menghasilkan panjang penyebaran tanaman terbaik yakni 8.53 cm sedangkan bokashi padat berbahan dasar feses sapi yang terbaik dalam meningkatkan diameter batang (0,39 mm); jumlah anakan (2,11); berat segar tanaman (3.17 gram) dan berat kering tanaman (0,44 gram). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian bokashi berbahan dasar ekskreta ayam dan feses sapi sangat aktif dalam meningkatkan nilai pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman krokot karena mengandung unsur hara yang dibutuhkan untuk pertumbuhan tanaman
