Increasing the Ocra’s Yield by Organic Fertilizer Applications

Abstract

The purpose of this reseach is to determine the right concentration of liquid organic fertilizer biomi which is combined with the fertillizing frequency on the growth and yield of okra plants. This research was conducte in Sumerta Village, East Denpasar Subdistrict, Denpasar City. This experiment is a factorial experiment using a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of two treatment factors, namely the concentration of biomi liquid organic fertilizer (K) and frequency of application (F). The factor of concentration of liquid organic fertilizer biomi consists of 4 levels: K0 = 0 ml.l, K1 = 2,5 ml.l, K2 = 5 ml.l, and K3 = 7,5 ml.l. The frequency factor of application consists of 3 levels: F1 = fertillizing frequency 2 times, F2 = fertillizing frequency 3 times and F3 = fertillizing frequency 4 times. Interaction treatment betwen the biomi liquid organic fertilizer consentration and fertillizing frequency as well as single treatment fertillizing frequency had no significant effect on all observed variables while the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer biomi significannly effected to the maximum number of leaves per plant and no significant effect on other variables. The distribution of biomi liquid organic fertillizer at various levels of concentration is not significantly different but the highest fresh weight of fruit per plant was obtained at a concentration of liquid organic fertilizer biomi 5 ml.l which was 300.93 g which increased by 4,55 % if it is compared with the lowest weight obtained with a concentration of 2,5 ml.l, which is 287, 83 g. Fertillizing frequency 3 times, can provide the highest fresh fruit weight per plant, which was 299,14 g which has increased by 1,99 % and 3,69 % if it is compared to the fertillizing frequency 2 times, which is 293,28 g and the lowest fertillizing frequency 4
