PENGARUH SISTEM TANAM JAJAR LEGOWO DAN TEKNIK PEMUPUKAN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN TOMAT (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the Jajar Legowo planting system and fertilization technique and interaction on the growth and yield of the Tomato Plant. this research was conducted  in Bulotalangi Timur Village, Bulango Timur Subdistrict, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province, for three months, from Desember 2021 to March 2022. this research employs a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two factors. The first factor is the Jajar Legowo planting system 2:1, and 4:1, while the second factor is the fertilization technique, namely the Tugal (traditional seeder), Larikan (row spacing), and Spread. Observed parameters were plant height, number of leaves, number of first flowers, and fruit weight per sample. Moreover, the data analysis employs Analysis of Variance (ANNOVA) with a 5% Least Significance Test (LSD). The results indicate that the Jajar Legowo planting system and fertilization technique do not affect the growth and yield of tomato plants.
