Abstract

Vegetables are one of the foodstuffs that serve as a source of fiber and vegetable protein. However, the process of cultivating vegetables in peat soil is constrained by the high soil acidity and low nutrients in the soil. The study aims to find out the influence and concentration of trichocompost fertilizer duck manure that gives the best results on the productivity of mustard pakchoy (Brassica chinensis L.). The study used a Complete Randomized Design with 5 levels of treatment namely A = 0 (Control); B = 80 g/1,6 Kg; C = 100 g/1,6 Kg; D = 120 g/1,6 Kg; and E = 140 g/1,6 Kg. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and continued Duncan Test with a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that the aplication of trichocompost fertilizer duck manure has a significant effect on the coarse protein content and coarse fiber content, but has no noticeable effect on chlorophyll content. Trichocompost fertilizer treatment 140 g/1,6 Kg is the treatment that gives the best results to the productivity of pakchoy plants for the parameters of crude fiber content (2,540%), while the highest yield on coarse protein parameters was found in the control (3,636%).
