Setting of cash pruning time and giving rabbit urine to growth and results of plant melon (Cucumis melo L.)

Abstract

Melon is an annual plant that has high economic value with bright prospects to be developed. The low production of melons needs to be improved on cultivation techniques. The purpose of this study was to get one of the right time to trim the shoots and giving the urine more often given will be able to give effect to the growth and yield of melon plants both the best quality and quantity as well as the increasing income of melon farmers. Factorial experiments (2 factors) with a randomized block design (RBD) were used in this study. The interaction between setting the shoot pruning time (P) and giving rabbit (U) urine to the growth and yield of melon plants on all influential variables was not significant. The highest weight obtained fruit weight per plant due to setting the shoot pruning time gave at P1 of 1555.21 g or 10.12%, it was higher compared to P3 which was 1412.34 g. Fruit weight per plant on U1 urine administration with the interval of giving once every 3 days showed the highest value of 1568.88 g or 14.67%, it was higher compared to U0 which was of 1368.17 g.
