| Summary: | <p>An application of chemical fertilizers to enhance crop yields by increasing the</p><p>availability of nutrient has been raised in agriculture sector but excessive</p><p>consumption of chemical fertilizers recently causing serious environmental</p><p>problems. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of</p><p>different liquid organic fertilizers and boron (B) application on growth and yield of</p><p>tomato in soil and soilless media. There were 2 main experiments in this study. In</p><p>Preliminary Experiment, there were 16 treatments with 5 replications, including</p><p>controls, liquid organic fertilizers (fish amino acid [FAA] and shrimp extract [SE])</p><p>and B application. In Experiment 2, there were 6 treatments with 4 replications were</p><p>chosen from the previous experiment. The experiment was designed in a factorial</p><p>RCBD and data were analyzed by using ANOVA, SPSS software and the differences</p><p>between treatments mean were compared using Tukey HSD test with significant</p><p>level (P<0.05). The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, shoot</p><p>and root biomass, pH media, organic matter content, fresh weight and number of</p><p>fruits. Results on study of effects of FAA application on growth and yield of tomato</p><p>in soilless media was successfully achieved. Treatment with 30 mL/L FAA (T3) were</p><p>showed the significant effect on plant number of leaves and the result were similar to</p><p>the result using AB fertilizers (T4). Meanwhile, studies on effects of boron</p><p>application on growth and yield of tomato in soilless media was also successful.</p><p>Treatment 30 mL/L FAA + 1.87 mg/L boron (T4) gave similar result to treatment</p><p>using inorganic fertilizer (T6) on plant number of leaves. This study proved that the</p><p>application of FAA and B can contribute positive effects on plant growth</p><p>development for certain parameters. Thus, they can also be used as an alternative</p><p>fertilizer to reduce the usage of chemical fertilizer.</p> |
