DOI: MEDIA MATTERS: EVALUATING THE INFLUENCE OF GROWING MEDIA IN AUTOPOT FERTIGATION ON CHERRY TOMATO YIELD
Nurpilihan Kendarto , Department of Agricultural Engineering, Padjadjaran University Jl. Raya Jatinangor, Sumedang, IndonesiaAbstract
This study investigates the impact of different growing media in an Autopot Fertigation System on the yield of cherry tomatoes. The experiment aims to identify the most effective growing medium, considering its influence on plant growth, nutrient absorption, and overall productivity. A comparative analysis is conducted to provide valuable insights into optimizing cherry tomato cultivation in Autopot Fertigation Systems, enhancing agricultural practices for sustainable and high-yielding crop production.
