Growth Studies of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Varieties Plants by Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper) Flour Organic Fertilizer

The aim of the study was to analyze the interaction
between the concentration of bamboo shoots of liquid organic
fertilizer and cucumber plant varieties on the growth and yield of
cucumber plants. This experiment used a Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) with two factors. The first factor is the type of
cucumber plant varieties, Wulan F1 variety and Mercy F1 variety.
The second factor is the addition of Bamboo Shoots POC which
consists of 4 levels, 0, 50, 75 and 100 ml/liter of water. The
parameters observed were stem length, age of first flower
appearance, age of first harvest, number of planting fruit, fruit
diameter, fruit length, fruit weight of crop, fruit weight per plot and
per hectare. Based on the results of the experiment, it can be
concluded that giving bamboo shoots POC 100 ml/liter of water can
increase the growth and yield of cucumber plants reaching 47.31
tons/ha.
