Respon Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Sawi (Brassica juncea L.) melalui Sistem Vertikultur pada Media Tanam yang Berbeda

Abstract

Mustard plants can grow in both hot ad cold places. Many agricultural lands are converted into non-agricultural lands, such as housing. Additionally, plant cultivation vertically does not require a large area of land. This study aimed to identify the response of the growth and production of green mustard as well as the best growth through verticulture system on different planting media. The research was carried out from September to October 2021 in Tomulabutao Selatan Village, Dungingi Subdistrict, Gorontalo City. It employed a randomized Block Design (RAK) with four treatments and three replications. In detail, the planting medium used consisted of soil, cow manure + soil, bokashi + soil, and rice husks + soil. Furthermore, the research data were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA), and it continued with the Least Significance Difference test if there was an effect on mustard plants. The finding of this study clarified that different planting media affected the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, crown wet weight, and root wet weight. Besides, the planting media of soil and cow manure with a ratio of 1:1 was the best response to the growth and production of green mustard (Brassica juncea L.).
