“…The application of bokashi significantly affects leaf length, leaf width, stem height, and stem diameter, but it has no significant effect on the number of spinach leaves. The optimum dose of bokashi that needs to be given to agricultural land in Bajur Village to increase spinach growth is 1.6 kg for 10 kg of soil [23]. Bokashi treatment had a significant effect on the length of mustard leaves.…”

Various factors influence the growth rate of long beans. One of the external factors that determines the growth rate of long beans is the availability of nutrients on agricultural land. The nutrient content of the planting medium can be increased by applying fertilizer. Research has been conducted on the effectiveness of bokashi and NPK fertilizer on the growth of long beans. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of giving bokashi on the growth of long beans. Effectiveness of NPK fertilizer application on long bean growth. Effectiveness of the interaction of bokashi and NPK fertilizer on long bean growth. The research was designed in 2 factors, and data analysis used analysis of variance. Data analysis showed that giving bokahi effectively increased the number of leaves, plant height, and length but did not increase leaf width. The application of NPK fertilizer was effective in improving all measured parameters.

“…Vermicompost also has a high C-Organic content and can balance nutrients in the soil and provide nutrients for plants, with the availability of balanced and sufficient nutrients that will have a good effect on plant development [30][31][32]. Vermicompost fertilizer can improve the physical properties of the soil, namely improving soil structure and increasing the ability to hold water.…”

The effect of vermicompost on growth of shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.)

Shallots have long been cultivated by farmers intensively because shallots have a high economic value, so they become a source of income for farmers. Shallots are annual plants belonging to monocotyledonous plants that have multi-layered tubers formed from layers of leaves that enlarge and unite with cylindrical leaves. The soil fertility level influences shallots' growth, development, and production, requiring additional fertilizers. One of the good fertilizers used is vermicompost. Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer containing microbes and elements required for plant growth. This study aims to determine vermicompost's effect on shallot growth (Allium ascalonicum L.). This study used a completely randomized design with ten replications. The treatment levels consisted of P0 = 0 grams of vermicompost per 1 kg of soil, P1 = 40 grams of vermicompost per 1 kg, P2 = 80 grams of vermicompost per 1 kg of soil, and P3 = 120 grams of vermicompost per 1 kg of soil. Parameters observed were the number of leaves, number of tubers, plant height, wet weight, dry weight, and chlorophyll content of shallot. The research data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test at the 5% level. The results showed that the addition of vermicompost had a significant effect on the number of leaves and chlorophyll content of the shallot but had no significant impact on the number of bulbs, plant height, wet weight, and dry weight of the shallot.

“…For this reason, every stage of the spinach production process and harvest time must be done correctly, including at harvesting time. Spinach is ready to be harvested 21 days after planting when the crop is still in the vegetative phase [13] for up to 35 days [14]. At 27 days after planting, the plant height has reached 19-24 cm under various combinations of NPK fertilizer and vermicompost [14].…”

“…Consumers generally expect good quality spinach -fresh, sweet taste [9,10,16], with a new green colour in green spinach and purplish red pigment in red spinach. Green spinach contains beneficial minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc [12,14,16] and vitamins such as tocopherol, niacin, riboflavin, and carotene [15,16]. Several chemical components are also contained in green spinach, such as chlorophyll, flavonoids (quercetin), alkaloids, saponins, phytic acid, and tannins [15][16][17][18].…”

VP3 biofertilizer is a biological agent that has been formulated in previous research. It was applied once with compost and has been tested on red spinach and green spinach in the greenhouse to see its effect on yield and quality (chlorophyll content, anthocyanins, and shelf life at room temperature). Red spinach and green spinach had shown a significantly different growth response to applying biological fertilizers. VP3 biofertilizer with compost had the highest yield effect but was not significantly different from the recommended Nitrogen Phosphate Potassium (NPK) and Effective Microorganism4(EM4) treatment with compost. The application of VP3 Biofertilizer with NPK fertilizer showed a darker color (higher chlorophyll and anthocyanin content) than the application of biological fertilizers, but the values were not significantly different. The application of VP3 biofertilizer with compost affected the shelf life of both red spinach and green spinach. Spinach plants remained fresh at room temperature for three days of storage, while the other treatments lost freshness on the 3rd day after harvesting and even loosened the leaf on the 4th day after harvesting. Therefore, VP3 biofertilizer has potential to increase the yield and quality of spinach and other vegetable crops. The addition of the application period of VP3 biofertilizer needs to be carried out and observed to increase the yield and quality of plants further. Canonical Variate Analyses (CVA) can distinguish the grouping of treatments based on the selected parameter. Biplot assessment provides information on the strong relationship between the yield of green spinach and red spinach and a number of leaves, leaf area, and plant height. The application of VP3 biofertilizer with compost had a significant effect on the yield and quality and produced different effects between treatments, both in the case of green spinach and red spinach.
