Efektivitas Sistem Fertigasi Mikro untuk Lahan Sempit

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of micro fertigation system and application of uriferm to plant growth and production of chili (Capsicum annum sp.) The field experiment was carried out at Ciherang village, Bogor Residency from March 2006 to Januari 2007. This research used randomized block design of four repetitions. The treatment was conventional culture by watering can (A), fertigation uriferm (8), fertigation non fermented urine (C), and fertigation used Hartus formula (0). The result of this research showed that the micro fertigation system are running well. From the laboratory analysis showed that the properties of urine of cows fermented (uriferm) increase in composition if compared to non fermented and successfull used as nutrition. Uriferm properties showed that better than urine non fermented and formula Hartus. The micro fertigation system showed better result compared to the watering can on variable observation of growth and root distribution of chili. The micro fertigation system Significantly decreased volume of water used by 49,48%. The fertigation uriferm (8) showed better result compared to other treatments on wet weight of seed and water productivity (kg/m3).
