Application of Drip Infusion Irrigation System on Various Planting Media on Growth and Production of Celery (Apium graveolens L.)

93 HalamanThe goal of this study is to see how celery (Apium graveolens L.) responds to different growing medium and AB mix solution delivery utilizing a modified drip irrigation method. The study employed a Factorial RAK design with two treatment factors: (1) Planting medium (M) was divided into three levels: M1 was 100 percent sand, M2 was 100 percent husk charcoal, and M3 was Sand + Husk Charcoal (1:1). (2) Drip infusion (I) is divided into three levels: treatment I1 administers nutrition AB mix at a rate of 20 drops per minute, treatment I2 administers nutrition AB mix at a rate of 40 drops per minute, and treatment I3 administers nutrition AB mix at a rate of 60 drops per minute. The findings of this study revealed that giving plants a combination of sand and husk charcoal as planting media had a substantial influence on boosting plant height, number of petioles, and number of leaves. The results of this study revealed that giving celery (Apium) plants a mixture of sand and husk charcoal as a planting media had a significant effect on increasing plant height, number of petioles, number of tillers, leaf size, root volume, root length, plant fresh weight per sample, and fresh weight per plot. In addition, administering 60 drops of AB mix solution per minute using a drip irrigation system had a substantial impact on celery plant growth and output. Giving a mixture of sand and husk charcoal planting media with AB mix solution at 60 drops per minute using a drip watering system with a concentration of 1470 ppm was the optimum treatment. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman seledri (Apium graveolens L.) terhadap berbagai media tanam dan pemberian larutan AB mix melalui sistem irigasi infus tetes yang dimodifikasi. Rancangan yang digunakan yaitu RAK Faktorial yang terdiri dari 2 faktor perlakuan yaitu : (1) Media tanam (M) terdiri dari 3 taraf , M1 Pasir 100%, M2 Arang Sekam 100%, M3 Pasir + Arang Sekam (1:1). (2) Infus tetes (I) terdiri dari 3 taraf, perlakuan I1 Pemberian Nutrisi ABmix 20 tetes/menit, I2 Pemberian Nutrisi AB mix 40 tetes/menit, I3 Pemberian Nutrisi AB mix 60 tetes/menit. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian campuran media tanam pasir dan arang sekam berpengaruh nyata meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah tangkai daun, jumlah anakan, ukuran daun, volume akar, panjang akar, bobot segar tanaman per sampel dan bobot segar per plot tanaman seledri (Apium graveolens L.). Dan pemberian larutan AB mix 60 tetes/menit melalui sistem irigasi infus tetes berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanamn seledri. Perlakuan terbaik yaitu pemberian campuran media tanam pasir dan arang sekam dengan larutan AB mix 60 tetes/menit melalui sistem irigasi infus tetes dengan konsentrasi 1470 ppm
