Physiological Response of Three Melon Varieties Applied to Trichokompos Planting Media and Various Concentrations of Liquid Organic Fertilizer

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of providing trichocompost planting media composition, varieties and various concentrations of liquid organic fertilizer on the physiology of melon plants. This experiment used a separate plot design in groups, the Main Plot was the planting medium (m) which consisted of 3 planting media compositions, m1: Soil Composition: Trichokompos = 1:1, m2 : Soil Composition : Trichokompos = 1:2, m3: Soil Composition : Trichokompos = 2:1 and Subplots are 3 types of melon varieties (v), namely: v1 = Glamor F1, v2 = Rio F, v3 = Noni F1, and Children's Plots are the concentration of eco farming (k), namely: k0 = Without eco farming (control), k1 = Eco farming 5 ml/ liter of water, k3 = Eco farming 10 ml/ liter of water. The results of this research indicate that the composition of 2 soil planting media: 1 trichocompost, Rio F1 variety and a liquid organic fertilizer concentration of 1 ml/liter of water is recommended to improve the physiological phase of melon plants.
