The Effect of Various Planting Media on The Growth and Yield of Microgreen Mustard (Brassica juncea L)
Abstract
Microgreens are young plants from the vegetable group harvested at 10 to 15 days of age. Their short harvest period contributes to their high nutritional value. This study aimed to determine the effect of various planting media on the growth and yield of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.). This research employed the following treatments: soil, cocopeat, rock wool, and rice husk charcoal. The data analysis method utilized was a non-factorial, Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA, and if significant differences were found, further testing was conducted using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) method at the 5% level, employing the Microsoft Excel program. This study shows that the effectiveness of the treatment varies depending on the specific conditions and types of variables observed. Some treatments have a significant effect, while others have no significant impact. Planting media other than soil has been proven to be more optimal in supporting growth. Environmental factors, technical errors, and biological characteristics can affect the study's results, so it is necessary to control external factors and increase the number of repetitions to obtain more accurate and reliable data.
