“…Pemupukan menggunakan pupuk NPK dapat meningkatkan panjang dan diameter batang, jumlah ruas, panjang ruas dan bobot kering biomasa pada tanaman labu (Sari et al 2012). NPK juga berpengaruh terhadap komposisi kimia biji labu seperti kandungan protein, serat, abu, karbohidrat, dan lemak (Oloyede et al, 2012;Oloyede et al, 2013). Dosis yang banyak digunakan pada tanaman semusim seperti jagung, melon dan talas biasanya 200 kg/ha NPK 15:15:15 (Ekwere & Osodeke, 2013;Nmor, 2017).…”

Budidaya melon di rumah kaca sangat rentan terhadap kekeringan dan kekurangan hara. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh beberapa dosis NPK terhadap produksi melon di rumah kaca. Penelitian dilaksanakan di rumah kaca Balai Penelitian Tanaman Buah Tropika pada bulan April-Juni 2018. Materi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah galur MB3, yang merupakan galur melon terpilih koleksi Balitbu Tropika. Percobaan disusun menurut uji t berpasangan dengan 3 perlakuan dosis pupuk NPK, yaitu 100 g (control), 150 g, dan 200 g. Masing-masing perlakuan terdiri dari 30 tanaman, Peubah yang diamati terdiri dari bobot buah, lingkar buah, tebal daging buah, total padatan terlarut, panjang buah dan lebar buah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis pupuk NPK 100 g (kontrol) merupakan perlakuan terbaik, peningkatan dosis menyebabkan menurunnya kualitas buah.

The experiment was conducted at the research field of Agricultural Research Station, Rajbari, Dinajpur during rabi season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to develop a profitable and economic fertilizer dose and optimum planting time for Squash and to increase the productivity and yield. Two different dates of planting viz. 15 November and 30 November considered as factor A and different organic manures viz., vermicompost, poultry manure and cowdung considered as factor B. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block (RCB) design (Factorial) with three replications. Organic manures and planting time showed significant effects on most of the parameters. In case of organic manures, highest individual fruit weight (1707.50 g) and fruit yield (32.43 tha-1) was recorded from vermicompost whereas the lowest fruit weight (1233.17 g) and fruit yield (23.52 tha-1) was recorded from cowdung application. In case of planting time, the highest individual fruit weight (1747.11 g) and fruit yield (29.61 tha-1) was recorded from 15 November planting date whereas the lowest fruit weight (1196.44 g) and fruit yield (25.86 tha-1) was recorded from 30 November planting date. For combination, highest individual fruit weight (2153.66g) and fruit yield (34.06 tha-1) were recorded from vermicompost with 15 November planting date while the lowest individual fruit weight (1105.33g) and fruit yield (20.56 tha-1) were recorded from cowdung with 30 November planting date. Vermicompost with 15 November planting date was found suitable for total productivity and economic return of the system.

“…Most vegetables require fertilizer (organic and inorganic) for growth and optimum yield. The nutrient requirements of summer squash is generally high due to lots of biomass been produced by the plant (Oloyede et al 2013). Organic fertilizers releases nutrients overtime thereby creating a healthy growing environment, while a fast release of nutrients is provided by inorganic fertilizers.…”

Growth, yield, fruit mineral and Vitamin C content of Cucurbita pepo. L as affected by Organic and NPK fertilizer

et al. 2019

The nutrients requirement for Cucurbita pepo L. (summer squash) for optimal yield and quality fruits production can be achieved through adequate nutrient supply. A field experiment was carried out during the cropping season of 2015 and 2016 at Landmark University Teaching and Research Farm, Omu-Aran, Nigeria to investigate the impact of Tithonia diversifolia, poultry manure and NPK fertilizer on the growth, yield, mineral and vitamin C content in the fruit of C. pepo. The experiment consisted of T. diversifolia at 30 tons ha−1, poultry manure at 10 tons ha−1, T. diversifolia at 30 tons ha−1 + Poultry manure 10 tons ha−1, T. diversifolia at 30 tons ha−1 + NPK (20:10:10), NPK (20:10:10) and control (no amendment of any kind) arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The growth and fruit yield of C. pepo using the mean of the two years was increased by 68% and 2% respectively by T. diversifolia + poultry manure as compared to control due to an increase in nutrient availability in the soil with the amendment used. Also, Vitamin C content and Mg value of the fruit was increased by application of T. diversifolia as soil amendments as compared to the control. While the application of NPK fertilizer alone significantly increased the Ca, Mn and Fe contents of fruits. Fruit content of K was increased by 39 % by the application of T. diversifolia + NPK. Therefore, for the purpose of growing squash for the quality of fruits (vitamin C), the use of T. diversifolia at 30 tons ha−1 as organic fertilizer is sufficient for the cultivation, while for growing the crop with interest in quantity, application of T. diversifolia at 30 tons ha−1 + poultry manure at 10 tons ha−1 is recommended.
