Abstract

The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of goat cages and local microorganisms (MOL) bananas on the growth and production of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum mill.). The research was conducted in September-December 2020 in Ketapang Village, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo. Experiments were arranged factorial in a randomized block design (RBD). The first factor is the dose of goat manure, consisting of: 0, 10, 15, and 20 kg / ha); the second factor was banana weevil MOL which consisted of: without and given MOL. Each treatment combination was repeated three times, in order to obtain 24 experimental units. Observation variables were confined to plants, stem diameter, number of leaves, number of fruit and fruit weight. Data were analyzed by ANOVA 5% processed by Honest Significant Difference test (BNJ) at tarf 5%. The results showed that there were significant results in observing the number of leaves from the age of 30 days after planting (HST) and the number of fruit and fruit weight there was no interaction effect of these factors. The dose of manure significantly affected the observation of the number of leaves at 30, 45, and 60 HST as well as on the number of fruit and the total fruit weight. MOL significantly affected the observation of the number of leaves 45 and 60 DAS and the number of fruits. The combination of goat manure treatment at a dose of 20kg / ha and the use of MOL resulted in the highest growth and production of tomato plants.
