Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the difference of growth of tomato plants in varying concentration of fermented fish entrails and used diaper gel as culture media. The results were interpreted using statistical tool such as mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of variance, and Turkey Kramer's procedure. Results shows that in terms of height, tomato plants grown under the five treatments, but its height increased more on the soil with 0.11% fermented fish entrails. On the other hand, the percentage of fermented fish entrails being in the soil or diaper gel has relatively low effect on the number of leaves of tomato plants. Furthermore, in terms of wet mass, the study revealed that the 0.11% concentration of fermented fish entrails to soil produced the highest wet mass among the other treatments. It thus shows that the percentage level of fermented fish entrails and used diaper gel has significant effect on the growth of tomato plant in terms of height and wet mass, but it has no effect on its number of leaves. In the comparison of soil and diaper gel as culture media, it was found that there is a significant difference on the growth of tomato plant between the soil and diaper gel.
