The Effect of Tomato LOF and Planting Media on Cherry Tomato Production (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) DFT Aquaponic System
Abstract
Shallots are a high-value commodity due to their nutritional content and benefits for heart health, cancer prevention, and immune system support. This study aims to determine the effects of the interaction between Tomato LOF and planting media on the growth and production of cherry tomatoes. The research was conducted at Dokagu UIR Housing Block D No. 2, Air Dingin Village, Bukit Raya District, Pekanbaru City, over four months, from August to November 2024. The design employed in this study was a Factorial Completely Randomized Design. The Tomato LOF consisted of four treatment levels: 0, 5, 10, and 15 ml per 15 liters of water. The planting media (M) also consisted of four treatment levels: Rockwool, raw rice husks, cocopeat, and rice husk charcoal. The parameters observed included flowering age, the number of fruits per plant, fruit weight per individual fruit, and total fruit weight per plant. The results indicated that the interaction between Tomato LOF and planting media significantly affected the fruit weight per planting, specifically with 5 ml of water per 15 liters and rice husk charcoal, resulting in an average weight of 95.25 grams. For the primary treatment involving Tomato LOF, a significant effect was observed on the fruit weight per planting, particularly with 15 ml of water per 15 liters, yielding a weight of 66.94 grams. Additionally, the primary treatment of planting media significantly influenced the number of fruits per plant, with cocopeat yielding an average of 7.63 fruits, and the weight of fruit per planting with the rice husk charcoal treatment also measuring 66.94 grams.
