Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of organic fertilizer application on dwarf banana Cavendish (Musa paradisiaca L.) in natural shade and determine the dose of fertilizer that gives the best effect on the growth of banana. The research conducted at Field Garden, Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with organic fertilizer treatment consisting of control (P0/control), 87.5 g per polybag (P1), 170 g per polybag (P2), 262.5 g per polybag (P3), 350 g per polybag (P4), 437.5 g per polybag (P5) and 525 g per polybag (P6). Every treatment repeated three times. The variables observed were plant height, leaf number and leaf area. The results showed that organic fertilizer affected the growth of plant height, leaf number and leaf area. The treatment of organic fertilizer of goat manure at a dose of 170 g per polybag was a good dose of fertilizer in stimulating the growth of banana plants.
