Abstract
Sambiloto is a herbaceous plant that can be used as a medicinal plant. To increase the production of bitter leaves, it is necessary to apply organic fertilizers. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of various kinds of organic fertilizers on the yield of bitter plants. This research was conducted in Tarakan. Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 1 factor with 4 treatment levels and 6 replications. The treatment factor was the type of organic fertilizer consisting of: P0 (control), P1 (chicken manure 120 g/plant), P2 (cow manure 120 g/plant), and P3 (shrimp manure 120 g/plant). The observed parameters were plant height, number of leaves, plant wet weight, and plant dry weight at the age of 10 WAP. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA variance test, to determine the difference in treatment, then further tested using Duncan's test level 5%. The results showed that the use of chicken manure 120 g/plant was the best fertilizer on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, wet weight of plants, and dry weight of plants than the treatment of cow manure of 120 g/plant and shrimp manure 120 g/plant
