Abstract

The ciplukan plant is a herbal medicinal plant for improving digestion, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, asthma, whooping cough, bronchitis, orchitis, ulcers, ulcers, cancer, tumours, leukaemia, and diabetes. Optimal cultivation of ciplukan plants is needed to see the benefits obtained for health. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using chicken manure and Organic Liquid Fertilizer (OLF) to cultivate ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) plants. This study is a completely randomized factorial experimental study (CRD) with two factors and three replications. The treatment factor consisted of two factors: the use of chicken manure and OLF with three replications. Parameters in the study included plant height, number of leaves, wet bottom stover, the weight of dry bottom stover, number of fruits, and fruit weight. ANOVA analysis was carried out to determine the effect of chicken manure and OLF and continued with the 5% DMRT test on significantly different results. The results showed that chicken manure and OLF had a very significant effect on all observation parameters. The best growth in the A2C2 treatment was plant height 74.67 cm. The best crop yields were in the A2C2 treatment with an average number of 37 fruits and average fruit weight of 780 grams per plant.

Highlights

  • Ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) is a plant that is widely found in tropical and subtropical areas

  • Ciplukan plants are still mostly taken from plants that grow wild and are not cultivated intensively

  • This study aims to determine the effect of using manure and Organic Liquid Fertilizer (OLF) to grow ciplukan plants

Summary

Introduction

Ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) is a plant that is widely found in tropical and subtropical areas. In Indonesia, this plant is still few who use it and cultivate it. This plant, in Java, usually grows wild in gardens, dry fields, roadsides, and forests. These plants are traded as ingredients for traditional medicine in the form of a single herb or simplicia. All parts of the ciplukan plant, such as leaves, fruit, stems, and roots, are used for herbal drinks [3], [4]. Natural plant products are becoming important in helping promote health around the world [5]. The introduction of herbal plants is needed to increase public understanding to create general health [8]. Business sustainability will affect several factors of facilities, capabilities, and production obtained so that it affects the economy of farmers [11]
