Abstract
The purpose of this research is to understand the influence of Azolla
Ekastrak and mixed media on Wick hydroponics system to Caisin plant and to
find the best combination of organic nutrient of Wick hydroponics system on
Caisin plant. This research was held in February - March 2016, the research
was done in the Green House of Agricultural Faculty Muhammadiyah
Yogyakarta University. This research uses an experiment with Single Factor
Experimental design in Completely Randomized Design consisting 5 treatments
combination of Azolla extract nutrient solution and various media mixture, as
follows A: Azolla extract 200 ml/l + Coal husk 10 g + Vermicompost 94 g, B:
Azolla extract 200 ml / l + Charcoal husk 10 g + Compos Azolla 86 g, C: Azolla
extract 200 ml /l + Charcoal husk 10 g + Vermicompost 47 g + Compos Azolla
43 g, D: Azolla extract 200 ml/l + Charcoal husk 20 g, E: AB MIX + Charcoal
husk 20 g. The observation was was taken for5 weeks including higher plants
and number of leaves measurement. At the end of the research period was
including poriferation of roots, long root, weight of fresh root, weight of dried
root, weight dry plant, weight dry plant, broad leaves and the color of leaves
measurement. The results of the research showed the same results between
commercial nutrition and organic nutrition. The best combination of natural
nutrients was C: Azolla extract 200 ml / + Charcoal husk 10 g + Vermicompost
47 g + Compos Azolla 43 g compound than other treatments for plant height
parameters (25.50 cm), fresh weight of plants (32.83 grams), Plant dry weight
(2.1 grams), number of leaves (9.7 strands) and leaf area (397cm
).
