 Background

• Productivity eggplant in Indonesia increased good, however the

average production produced per hectare 32,64-34,11 kwintal did not
reach potential yield of eggplant that is supposed to 10-30 ton per
hectare.
• Through the application of fertilizer been used to add to plant that
productivity eggplant optimized
• Therefore, an increase in their crops needs to be done. Through
fertilizer application organic example azolla and anorganic potassium
• Application azolla compost in the ground to enrich the hara land,
improve the structure of land, fix absorptiveness the ground for water,
maintain the moisture content of soil in a large capacity and improve the
land tie against substance hara so not easily leached by water
• Potassium help plant in improving the quality of the outcome of flowers
and fruit
 Aim and Hypotheses

Aim
•The research aim is to study the additional compost azolla and
fertilizer potassium on growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum
melongena L.).
Hypotheses
•The provision of compost azolla with dosage 12 ton.ha-1 and dosage
of fertilizer K appropriate can increase the production of a crop
eggplant (Solanum melongena L.).
•The provision of compost azolla with dosage 12 ton.ha-1 can reduce
the provision of fertilizer K in plants eggplant (Solanum melongena L.).
•The provision of dosage fertilizer potassium different can have an
influence different for growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum
melongena L.).
 Materials and Method

Place and Time

Research already implemented in the Institute for Agricultural
Technology (BPTP) Karangploso Malang, East Java. From November
2015 to March 2016, which head of the place 550 meters above sea
level, the temperature has 26-300C.

The tools was used in this research is:

•Hoe, a spade, caliper, a sprayer, a ruler, the balance analytic, scissors,
the digital camera, a paper label and the meter

The Materials was used in this research is:

•Seed varieties of eggplant Mustang F1, Furadan, azolla compost 12
ton.ha-1, fertilizer N 46% 80 kg.ha-1, P 36% 70 kg.ha-1 and K 60%
treatment (30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 kg.ha-1
Research Methods
The experiment using a factorial randomized block design with 3 replications.
Consisting of two factors as follows:

Factor 1
• A0K0 = Without azolla compost, Without Potassium
• A0K1 = Without azolla compost, Potassium dosage 30 kg.ha-1
• A0K2 = Without azolla compost, Potassium dosage 60 kg.ha-1
• A0K3 = Without azolla compost, Potassium dosage 90 kg.ha-1
• A0K4 = Without azolla compost, Potassium dosage 120 kg.ha-1
• A0K5 = Without azolla compost, Potassium dosage 150 kg.ha-1
Factor 2
• A1K0 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Without Potassium
• A1K1 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Potassium dosage 30 kg.ha-1
• A1K2 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Potassium dosage 60 kg.ha-1
• A1K3 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Potassium dosage 90 kg.ha-1
• A1K4 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Potassium dosage 120 kg.ha-1
• A1K5 = Azolla compost dosage 12 ton.ha-1, Potassium dosage 150 kg.ha-1

These 2 factors to obtain 12 combine treatments and each combine treatment

repeated 3 times to obtain 36 units of a combination of trial.

Conclusion

• Interaction between dose of azolla compost and

potassium fertilizer is not significant to all
parameters observations on growth and yield of
eggplant
• The provision of compost azolla with doses 12
ton.ha-1 not significant on growth and yield of
eggplant
• Fertilizer potassium treatment is generally not
significant but significant on the diameter of fruit of
eggplant
