Effect of Compost Tea and Harvest Age on Productivity, Nutrient Content, and In vitro Digestibility Cichorium Intybus

The glass house experiment involving compost tea and harvest age was conducted to investigate the effect of giving (cricket rabbit feces) harvesting on productivity, nutrient content, in vitro digestibility value Cichorium intybus. Compost (CT) is an aqueous extract from that can correct deficiencies during crop production protect cultivation. research treatment consisted two factors, namely: dose tea. administration three kinds doses as follows: no (P0), 200 mL (P1), 400 (P2). experimental plants were harvested at different age, consisting 25, 35 45 days after planting (DAP). design Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments 9 replications. data statictically analyzed using analisys variance, differences among each tested Duncan Multiple Range Test. results indicated period affected (P<0.05) leaf length, fresh weight, crude protein dry matter (DMD), organic (OMD). Meanwhile, it showed not significant (P>0.05) width root length. suggest fertilization 25 DAP could increase productivity (leaf length weight) chicory, content (crude protein) (DMD OMD).
