Tanaman kangkung merupakan salah satu komoditas yang memiliki prospek dan peluang yang baik apabila dibudidayakan secara konvensional. Untuk mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman kangkung secara optimal pada sistem tanam konvensional, pemberian nutrisi berupa pupuk NPK menjadi upaya untuk mendapatkan hasil produksi kangkung yang berkualitas. Kegiatan pemupukan harus memperhatikan tepat cara pemupukan, tepat dosis, tepat jenis, tepat tempat serta tepat waktu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui respon pertumbuhan tanaman kangkung terhadap penggunaan sistem tanam konvensional serta mendapatkan informasi terkait dosis NPK yang tepat untuk pertumbuhan kangkung. Metode percobaan yang dilakukan yaitu menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok terdiri atas 4 taraf yaitu tanpa pupuk NPK, pupuk NPK 2 g, 4 g dan 6 g/ polybag. Hasil penelitian perbedaan dosis NPK menunjukan berbeda nyata pada parameter tinggi tanaman, berat segar tanaman serta jumlah daun pada taraf kepercayaan Uji BNJ 5%. Perlakuan NPK menghasilkan respon nyata pada taraf kepercayaan Uji BNJ 5% dan dosis NPK 4 g merupakan perlakuan terbaik pada seluruh parameter pengamatan.
Water spinach is one of the most popular vegetable commodities in Indonesia. Currently, limited land due to plastic waste and uncertain climate change are inhibiting factors for plant cultivators. Efforts that can be done is to carry out cultivation activities to water spinach hydroponically. Hydroponic cultivation can use the wick system because it is easy to apply and does not require expensive costs. To support optimal growth of water spinach and reduce plastic waste in Indonesia, presenting AB Mix nutrition and the use of plastic bottles as a nutrient container in hydroponic cultivation are efforts to obtain quality water spinach production. This study aims to determine the response of water spinach plants to the use of hydroponic growing systems, as well as to obtain information regarding the best concentration of AB Mix. The experimental method used was a completely randomized design, which consisted of 3 levels, namely the nutrient concentration of 800 ppm, 1000 ppm and 1200 ppm. The results of the various concentrations of mixed AB showed significantly different effects on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves and weight of fresh plants. AB Mix concentration treatment of 1200 ppm was the best treatment for all observed parameters.
