The Use of Various Doses of Virgin Coconut Oil Waste To The Growth and Yield of Asystasia gangetica (L.) subsp Micrantha
Abstrak
The research aimed to determine the effect of various dosage of virgin coconut oil waste on the growth and yield of A. gangetica (L.) subsp. Micrantha has been carried out in the Glass House of Sading Village, Mengwi District, Badung Regency.The study conducted for 8 weeks from February to March 2021. The experiment arranged by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 6 replications so that there were 30 experimental units. The treatments were the dosage of virgin coconut oil waste, namely 0 l ha-1 (D0), 2,500 l ha-1 (D1),5,000 l ha-1 (D2), 7,500 l ha-1 (D3) and 10,000 l ha-1 (D4). The variables observed were growth, yields and growth characteristics variables. The results of the study showed that the growth and yield of A. gangetica (L.) subsp. Micrantha fertilized with various dosage of virgin coconut oil liquid waste can increase the leaf dry weight, stem dry weight, and total dry weight of forage with an average of leaf dry weight was 3.35 g, stem dry weight was 6.08 g, and forage total dry weight was 9.43 g. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the application of virgin coconut oil could increase the growth and yield of A. gangetica (L.) subsp. Micrantha, and the dosage of 10,000 l ha-1 waste of virgin coconut oil resulted the best growth and yield of A. gangetica (L.) subsp. Micrantha.
Key words: Asystasia gangetica, dosage, growth, virgin coconut oil waste, yield
