Abstract:
This study explored the effect of organic fertilizer ( chicken manure) on growth, flowering and fruit quality of eggplant grown on bris soil. The application 20 tan/ha of organic fertilizer ( chicken manure fertilizer) was found to give better growth
development of eggplant. The observation for growth of eggplant parameter was taken weekly interval from week 1 until week 10. The measurements were taken on plant height, plant diameter, number of flower and number of fruit. The quality of
fruits indicator for assessment are total soluble solid and pH. Applications of 20 tan/ha were the best growth on height and plant diameter of eggplants. This is because chicken manure was the best as far as sheer nutrients go which is rich in nitrogen; an
application of chicken dung will grow some of the best application of eggplant. Applications of 15 tan/ha of chicken manure give the better result on number of flower. Compared to application of 10 tan/ha of organic fertilizer which best results
on number of fruit. Fruit quality of eggplant specifies that the application of 20 tan/ha of chicken manure fertilizer was highest content of total soluble solid and pH value. This showed that the fruit able to mature rapidly compared to other treatment. So the study concluded that planting of eggplant required a high rate of organic fertilizer for good growth and quality of eggplant grown on bris soil.
