Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effects of different plant media and concentrations of liquid fertilizer derived from tofu waste on the growth of Kangkung using hydroponic methods. The study employs a field experiment designed with a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) featuring two primary factors. The first factor consists of three types of planting media: rice husk (M1), river sand (M2), and a combination of river sand and rice husk (M3). The second factor involves varying concentrations of tofu waste liquid fertilizer, with four levels: P0 (0%), P1 (10%), P2 (20%), P3 (30%), and P4 (40%). Key growth variables include plant height, leaf count, and fresh weight, measured weekly over four weeks. Data analysis will utilize Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. As an results indicate that treatment M1P3, which combines rice husk with a 30% concentration of tofu waste fertilizer, yields the best growth and production of kangkung
