Abstract

Background: Plant growth media (PGM) play a crucial role in supporting plant growth and development. The choice of high-quality growing media is essential to provide the necessary nutrients and support for optimal plant growth. This study compares the physical and chemical properties of zeoponic with commercial PGMs. Methods: The study was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022 at the Cikabayan Education greenhouse, Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University. Laboratory analysis of the physical and chemical properties of PGM was conducted with parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), nutrient content, bulk density, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and base saturation and also plant growth parameters such as plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width were measured. Result: The results show that zeoponic has a neutral pH, low EC value and high CEC, indicated that the use of zeoponic led to significantly greater plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width in all types of plants than commercial PGMs. Unique physical and chemical properties in zeoponic create an ideal environment for root development and nutrient absorption. Therefore, zeoponic demonstrates superior performance as a PGM for various plant types, including horticultural crops and seedlings, outperforming commonly available commercial PGM in the market.

Abstract

The quality of plant growth media (PGM) is one of the keys to the success of horticultural crops cultivation. One of the weaknesses of PGM derived from this material is the low cation exchange capacity (CEC) value of about 20 meq/100g. The addition of fertilizer to PGM will trigger an increase in electrical conductivity (EC) so that plants do not grow normally. To overcome that problem, we introduce zeolite, a hollow mineral silicate which has high CEC value. PGM made from zeolite materials is hereinafter referred to as "Zeoponic". The zeoponic was made from a mixture of 0.5 mm zeolite, compost, and cocopeat in a ratio 2:1:1 and added with fertilizers. To evaluate the capability of zeoponic, we have conducted experiments in a greenhouse at the Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University. Some types of plant growth media sold on the market were used together with zeoponic to grow water spinach and pak choi. Plant growth and plant physical performance were observed to assess the quality of PGM. The results showed that low bulk density of zeoponic indicates that the media has a lot of space and is not easy to become dense. The use of zeolites can maintain the EC of the growing media so that nutrients can be absorbed optimally by plants. Plants growth that used zeoponic were taller, has more leaves, and has havier weight compared to plants that used other PGMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
