Abstract

This research seeks to identify the differences between various treatment combinations and a control group, focusing on determining the optimal doses of bokashi cowshed and gibberellin concentrations for enhancing the growth and yield of bitter gourd. The experiment was structured using a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with a 3x3+1 factorial arrangement. The first factor assessed different levels of bokashi manure application at 10 tons/ha, 20 tons/ha, and 30 tons/ha. The second factor involved varying concentrations of gibberellin at 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm. The control group was not treated with either bokashi or gibberellin. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA with a 5% significance threshold, followed by DMRT and Orthogonal Contrast Tests. The findings revealed that the treatments outperformed the control group in aspects such as flowering and harvest timing, fruit size (length and diameter), and weight per fruit, per plant, and per hectare. Specifically, applying bokashi at 30 tons/ha yielded the best results for fruit size and weight, while the highest gibberellin concentration of 80 ppm proved most effective for enhancing flowering and harvest times as well as fruit characteristics.
