Abstract
The use of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) has been increasingly practice to improve the effectiveness of solid organic fertilizer application in the production of many vegetable crops. Proper selection of green biomass must be taken into account since type of green mass determines the nutrient contents in LOF. Water hyacinth is a green biomass that widely grows water ecosystem around the vegetable growing area and is considered as a promising source of biomass for LOF production. This experiment aimed to determine the optimum concentration of water hyacinth-based LOF for growth and yields of cucumber. A complete randomized design experiment was established with three replicates. Treatments consisted of 0 %, 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 % and 100 % concentrations of water hyacinth-based-LOF. Results indicated that the use of water hyacinth LOF significantly increased leaf number, shoot fresh weight and shoot dry weight. In addition, the use of water hyacinth LOF also significantly increased fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit weight and fruit hardness of cucumbers. The application of 100 % of water hyacinth LOF was the best concentration to increase cucumber growths and yields.
