Effect of Providing Cricket Manure and Multi POC on the Growth and Yield of Javanese Ginseng Plants (Talinum paniculatum)

This study evaluated the impact of cicada manure and POC Multi on the growth and yield of Javanese ginseng (Talinum paniculatum). A Group Random Design (RAK) with two factors, repeated three times, was employed. The first factor was cicada manure dosage at 5, 10, and 15 tons/ha. The second factor was POC Multi concentration at 100, 150, and 200 cc/liter. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, and fresh and dry weight. Data were analyzed using RAK and further tested with the BNJ method. The results demonstrated that cicada manure and POC Multi significantly enhanced Javanese ginseng growth at 35 HST. The best outcomes were achieved with the combined application, improving plant height, leaf count, and branch number.
