Pertumbuhan Tomat Ceri (Solanum Lycopersicum Var. Cerasiforme) dengan Nutrisi Poc Kulit Bawang Merah Menggunakan Sistem Hidroponik Wick

Abstract

The research of the growth of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. Cerasiforme) with shallot skin liquid organic fertilizer (poc) nutrition using a wick hydroponic system. This study aims to analyze the growth response of cherry tomatoes at various concentrations of shallot skin POC and obtain the best concentration for cherry tomato growth. This research was conducted from July to October 2022 at the Plant Physiology and Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of North Sumatra. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five POC concentrations of shallot skin, namely concentrations of 0, 1500, 1750, 2000 and 2250 ppm. The results showed that all POC treatments of shallot skin showed a significant effect on plant height, age at flowering, age at harvest, number of fruit planted and fruit weight planted. The POC concentration of 2000 ppm shallot skin is the right concentration for the growth of cherry tomatoes.
