Abstract
Pakcoy is one of the commodities favored by the people of Indonesia. The presence of nutrients aroundÃÂ the plant root system greatly affects the growth of pakcoy. The availability of nutrients can be increased by fertilizing. Fertilization of plants can be done by using bokashi. Study on the growth response of pakcoy due to differences in dosage and time of giving bokashi was conducted to determine: (1) the growth response of pakcoy due to bokashi treatment,ÃÂ (2) the growth response of pakcoy due to difference in the time of giving bokashi, (3) the growth response of pakcoy due to the interaction between the dose and the time of giving bokashi. Completely randomized design with 3 replications was used in the study. The growth pakcoy parameters were plant height, number of leaves and leaf length. The result showed that: (1) plant height, number of leaves and leaf length had a positive response to bokashi treatment with the best bokashi dose is 15 tons per hectare, (2)ÃÂ plant height, number of leaves and leaf length of pakcoy responded to the time of giving bokashi, the highest growth parameters were pound in pakcoy given bokashi 30 days before planting. (3) plant height, number of leaves and leaf length were not significantly different due to the interaction between dose and time giving bokashi
Highlights
Bok choy is one of the commodities that the Indonesian people are interested in
The study was conducted in the following stages: (1) preparing the necessary tools and materials, (2) processing organic waste into compost, (3) cleaning the experimental land from wild plants and garbage, (4) hoeing the experimental land and making beds with 1-meter width and 15-meter length, (5) mixing compost with a topsoil layer of soil on the experimental land, (6) planting bok choy plants, (7) irrigating the experimental land with river water, (8) weeding the experimental land by removing the existing weeds/wild plants on the experimental land, (7) eradicating pests and plant diseases, (8) measuring the growth parameters of bok choy, and (9) conducting data analysis
The average height measurement of bok choy plants conducted 30 days before planting can be seen in table 1
Summary
Bok choy is one of the commodities that the Indonesian people are interested in. This plant is one of the important vegetables in Asia. Bok choy has a tap root system (radix primaria) and root branches that are elliptical (cylindrical), spreading in all directions. These roots function to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and strengthen the position of plant stems. The stem (caulis) of bok choy is very short and segmented (almost invisible). This stem functions as a tool for forming and supporting the leaves. The mustard seeds are small round brown or blackish brown [1]
