Analisis Sistem Irigasi Hidroponik NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) pada Budidaya Tanaman Caisim (Brassica Juncea L.)

Abstract

NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) is a modem hydrophontc technique using fertilizer as a sou ce of nutrient or plants. This research used "talang" (gutter) as a plant mediu supported b styrofoam, and then the parameters observed during plant grow h were collect d as experimental data. The objecfive of this research is to study the effect of electrical conductivity unifi rmity (ECU), nutrient solution pH and the effectiveness of talang slope on the productivity of caisim plant. The result of this research h indicated that talang with slope of 9% had better produce, beeter electrical conductivity uniformity (ECU) and higher pH uniformity compared to those with slope of 6%.
