Chrysanthemum is a strategic floriculture commodity to be developed. The growth and production of flowers is influenced by many factors including growing media and fertilization. This study aims to examine the effect of variations in planting media and concentrations of foliar fertilizer on the growth and yield of chrysanthemum. The study was conducted in a Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications. Treatment of planting media consisted of cow manure: husk charcoal: bamboo leaf humus (1:1:1), cow manure: husk charcoal: cocopeat (1:1:1), and cow manure: husk charcoal. : wood sawdust compost (1:1:1). Treatment of foliar fertilizer concentrations consisted of control (0 g/l); 2 g/l; 4 g/l; and 6 g/l. The data obtained were analyzed using the F test, if there was a significant variation, then proceed with the DMRT test at ? 5%. The results showed that the planting media treatment of cow manure: husk charcoal: bamboo leaf humus, had a better effect than other media, indicated by the variables of plant height, crown diameter, stem diameter, number of branches, number of flowers, flower diameter, flower initiation time, flower coloring time, and harvest time. The application of foliar fertilizer with doses of 6 g/l, 4 g/l, and 2 g/l gave higher yields of flowers than the control. A good combination treatment for flower yields was found in the combination of cow manure: husk charcoal: bamboo leaf humus planting media and leaf fertilizer concentration of 4 g/l which produced the highest number of flowers, while for growth was the combination of cow manure : husk charcoal: bamboo leaf humus planting media and leaf fertilizer concentration 2 g/l; cow manure: husk charcoal: cocopeat and leaf fertilizer concentration of 4 g/l; as well as cow manure: husk charcoal: cocopeat and the concentration of foliar fertilizer 6 g/l which gave the higher number of leaves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
