Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a growing media combination with addition of baglog waste compost and several livestock manure on the growth and production of two varieties of melon (Cucumis melo L.). The research was designed with a Split Plot Design. The main plot was melon variety consisting of Action 434 and Glamor varieties. Subplots were planting media consisting of several combinations, namely soil + baglog waste compost (2:1), soil + baglog waste compost + chicken manure (2:1:1), soil + baglog waste compost + cow manure (2:1:1), and soil + baglog waste compost + goat manure (2:1:1). The results showed that the Glamor variety gave the best leaf area (108.66 cm2). Treatment of soil + baglog waste compost + chicken manure gave the best leaf area (122.01 cm2), highest leaf chlorophyll content (41.77 mg/cm2), longest root length (52.18 cm) and the largest fruit diameter (42.33 cm). The treatment of soil + baglog waste compost + cow manure gave the heaviest fruit weight (0.75 kg) and the highest fruit sweetness level (8.22 °brix).
