Abstract

Banana peel is an organic waste, which has nutrients that are useful for plants. This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made by banana peel(BP) as a potassium source for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) growth and determine the right balance between the use of BP-LOF and anorganic KCl fertilizer. The study was conducted in the Agricultural Experiment Field of UMY from September to November 2018. The study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), which consisted of 6 treatments namely (1) 100% BP-LOF, (2) 80 % BP-LOF + 20% KCl fertilizer, (3) 60% BP-LOF + 40% KCl fertilizer, (4) 40% BP-LOF + 60% KCl fertilizer, (5) 20% BP-LOF + 80% KCl fertilizer, and (6) 100% KCl fertilizer as control. The results showed that the comparison of BP-LOF application gave similar results to the growth and yield of eggplant.
