The Influence of Pea Planting Media and Mycorrhiza on the Growth of Pakcoy Plants Without Additional Fertilization

Shabrina Ujiantika Qurrota A’yun. 202354211004. The Influence of Pea Planting Media and Mycorrhiza on the Growth of Pakcoy Plants Without Additional Fertilization. This study aims to determine the effect of pea planting media combined with manure and mycorrhiza on the growth of pakcoy plants without additional fertilization in supporting sustainable agriculture.

The research method used is a completely randomized design (CRD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments are as follows: P0 = 100% Soil, D1 = 4 kg soil + 1 kg cow manure + 15 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. D2 = 3 kg soil + 2 kg cow manure + 10 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. D3 = 2 kg soil + 3 kg cow manure + 5 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. D4 = 1 kg soil + 1 kg goat manure + 15 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. D5 = 3 kg soil + 2 kg goat manure + 10 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. D6 = 2 kg soil + 3 kg cow manure + 5 grams mycorrhizal fertilizer. The observed parameters include plant height, leaf count, fresh plant weight, and mycorrhizal spore density.

The research results show that the treatment of pea plant media residue combined with 1 kg of goat manure and 15 grams of mycorrhiza (D4) has the best effect on the growth of pakcoy plants. In the D4 treatment, the plant height reached 23.6 cm, the number of leaves was 12, and the fresh weight was 154.3 grams per plant. Meanwhile, the control treatment (P0) and the treatment with only the remaining pea plant media produced the lowest growth.
