Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to determine the effect of the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer combination and branch pruning toward the growth and yield of tomatoes. The design was Random Design Single factor group with 3 replications. Those were K0 (without LOF and without pruning); K1 (without LOF by pruning 1 branch); K2 (without LOF by pruning 2 branches); K3 (LOF 50 mL/L of water without pruning); K4 (LOF 50 mL/L of water by pruning 1 branch); K5 (LOF 50 mL/L of water by pruning 2 branches); K6 (LOF 100 mL/L of water without pruning); K7 (LOF 100 mL/L of water by pruning 1 branch); K8 (LOF 100 mL/L of water by pruning 2 branches); K9 (LOF 150 mL/L of water without pruning); K10 (LOF 150 mL/L of water by pruning 1 branch); K11 (LOF 150 mL/L of water by pruning 2 branches). The study showed that the treatment of LOF concentration 100 mL/L of water and pruning 1 branch (K7) affected the plants height of 21 DAP (45.25 cm), 28 DAP (68.83 cm), and 35 DAP (88.00 cm); number of leaves (31.00); number (37.50); weight (393.22 g); and diameter (5.11 cm) which significantly different from others.
