Abstract

Kangkong (Ipomea reptans Poir.) is a type of vegetable that is favored by all groups of people in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the growth response of kangkong by giving pineapple peel POC nutrition with different concentrations. POC of pineapple skin was fermented for 4 weeks and analyzed for the nutrient content. The method used is a Non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) used with five level of POC concentrations as treatment: 0% (without treatment), 15%, 30%, 45% and 60%. The five treatments were repeated 5 times to obtain 25 experimental units. The data obtained included plant height, number of leaves, root crown ratio, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight and chlorophyll content were also measured as growth factor data. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA version 22 and continued with Duncan's test. There is significant differences between control plants without treatment with treatment plants. P3(45%) treatment plant is the best concentration to the growth of kangkong from all parameters.
