The Effect of Doses of Manure and the Concentration of Organic Herbicides on the Growth and Yield of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Cultivars Bhakti

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of doses of manure and the concentration of organic herbicides on the growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivars Bhakti. The experimental design used Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). This experiment consisted of 12 combinations of manure dosage treatment and concentrations of organic herbicides. Each of which was repeated three times, so that there were 36 experimental plots. The combination of treatments tested in the field was manure 5 t/h, 10 t/ha, 15 t/ha, organic herbicide 0 g/l, 100 g/l, 200 g/l, 300 g/l. The results showed that there was a significant effect of doses of manure and organic herbicide concentrations on plant height of 14 DAP, 21 DAP and 28 DAP, number of leaves aged 21 DAP and 28 DAP, number of fruits per plant and per plot, fruit length per plant, fruit diameter per plant, fruit weight per plant and per plot (14,46 kg/plot), and wet weed per plot. The best results were shown in the combination treatment K (15 t/ha manure and organic herbicide 200 g/l) with an average yield of 14.46 kg/plot (36.15 t/ha).
