Abstract

This research aims to determine the optimum concentration of amino age liquid organic fertilizer and types of planting media for the growth and production of lettuce plants (lactuca sativa L.). It has been carried out in Karanganyar District, Pekalongan Regency. The design used in this study is a Complete Group Random Design (RAK). A factorial experiment consisting of 2 factors. The first factor is the Concentration of Liquid Organic Fertilizer which consists of 4 levels, namely: K0 = 0 ppm (Control), K1 = 500 ppm, K2 = 1000 ppm, and K3 = 1500 ppm. The second factor is the Type of Planting Media which consists of 3 levels, namely: M1 = Soil: Husk Charcoal (1:1), M2 = Soil: Manure (1:1), M3 = Soil: Cocopeat (1:1). The data was analyzed with the F test, if it was significantly different, it was followed by the 5% Least Significant Different (LSD) test. The variables that were observed were Plant height, Number of leaves, Leaf area, Root volume, Longest root length, Stem diameter, Crop weight, Plant Consumption Weight. The results showed that the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer was significantly different in the variables of leaf area, stem diameter, and straw weight. The types of planting media differ very significantly in the variables of leaf area, root volume, stem diameter, crop weight, and plant consumption weight.

Keywords : Poc amino age concentration, types of planting media, lettuce.
