RESPON PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN MENTIMUN AKIBAT PEMBERIAN BAHAN ORGANIK DAN PEMANGKASAN CABANG

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman mentimun akibat pemberian berbagai dosis bahan organik dan pemangkasan cabang serta interaksi antara kedua faktor tersebut, dilaksanakan di desa Lambheu KecamatanDarul Imarah Kabupaten Aceh Besar. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) pola faktorial 3x3 dengan 3 ulangan. Ada dua faktor yang diteliti yaitu dosis bahan organik (15, 20, dan 25 ton/ha) dan pemangkasan cabang pada ruas (1-4, 4-8, dan 8-12). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis bahan organik berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap diameter batang umur 10 dan 30 hst, berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman umur 10 dan 30 hst, jumlah ruas umur 20 dan 50 hst, diameter batang umur 20 dan 40 hst, panjang buah umur 55 hst, diameter buah umur 50 hst, berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman umur 20 dan 40 hst, jumlah ruas umur 30 dan 40 hst, jumlah buah per tanaman umur 45, 50, 55 dan 60 hst, panjang buah umur 45, 50, dan 60 hst, diameter buah umur 45, 50, dan 60 hst. Pemangkasan cabang berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap diameter batang umur 40 hst, jumlah buah umur 45, 50, 55, dan 60 hst, berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi batang umur 20 dan 40 hst serta berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap tinggi batang umur 10 dan 30 hst, jumlah ruas umur 20, 30, 40, dan 50, diameter batang umur 10, 20, dan 30 hst, panjang buah umur 45, 50, 55, dan 60 hst, diameter buah umur 45, 50, 55, dan 60 hst. Terdapat interaksi yang nyata antara dosis bahan organik dan pemangkasan cabang terhadap panjang buah umur 50 hst dan diameter buah umur 60 hst.This research aims to determine the response to growth and yield of cucumber plants due to the application of various doses of organic material and pruning branches as well as the interaction between these two factors, carried out in Lambheu village, Darul Imarah District, Aceh Besar Regency. This research used a Randomized Group Design (RAK) with a 3x3 factorial pattern with 3 replications. There were two factors studied, namely the dose of organic material (15, 20, and 25 tonnes/ha) and pruning of branches at segments (1-4, 4-8, and 8-12). The results showed that the dose of organic material had a very significant effect on stem diameter at 10 and 30 days after planting, had a significant effect on plant height at 10 and 30 days after planting, number of internodes at 20 and 50 days after planting, stem diameter at 20 and 40 days after planting, and fruit length at 55 days. DAP, fruit diameter at 50 DAP, had no significant effect on plant height at 20 and 40 DAP, number of segments at 30 and 40 DAP, number of fruit per plant at 45, 50, 55 and 60 DAP, fruit length at 45, 50, and 60 days after planting, fruit diameter at 45, 50 and 60 days after planting. Branch pruning has a very significant effect on stem diameter at 40 dap, number of fruit at 45, 50, 55 and 60 dap, has a significant effect on stem height at 20 and 40 dap and has no significant effect on stem height at 10 and 30 dap, number of internodes aged 20, 30, 40, and 50, stem diameter aged 10, 20, and 30 dap, fruit length aged 45, 50, 55, and 60 dap, fruit diameter aged 45, 50, 55, and 60 dap. There was a real interaction between the dose of organic material and branch pruning on fruit length at 50 days after planting and fruit diameter at 60 days after planting
