The Effect of Hydroponic Nutrient Sources and Planting Media Types on the Growth and Production of Chinese Kale (Brassica oleraceae L.)

Kale is prospective for cultivation because they have a good market. In order to get optimal plant output when growing kale in hydroponic system, care must be taken employ AB Mix nutrients and specific planting media types. This study aim at obtaining the right combination of types on yield growth plants, which were grown substrates hydroponic. The was organized Randomized Complete Block Design, with three replicates factorial arrangement. first factor source nutrition i.e. Infarm, Growrich, Purie Garden. second type media, including husk charcoal, cocopeat, mixture cocopeat charcoal (1:1). Results revealed that treatment statistically different leaf area. best between Infarm. significantly affected parameters such as height, area, dry weight root Infarm found nutrient. did not influence all observed. Interaction nutrient area parameter showed result M2A2 (husk + Infarm) 700,96 cm2 , but from other treatment. Keywords: nutrient, Cocopeat, Husk
