Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a high-value horticultural item that is widely grown throughout Indonesia. Increased market demand drives the need for more optimal agricultural practices to boost crop yields. To boost plant development and yield, one approach is to utilize various manures and suitable pruning procedures. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of different types of manure and pruning, as well as their interactions, on cucumber plant development and yield. The study was conducted from December 2023 to January 2024 on entrepreneurial land at the Faculty of Agriculture, Tunas Pembangunan University, Surakarta, with Alfisol soil type (PPT = Chocolate Latosol). The investigation was conducted in Plosorejo Village, Matesih District, Karanganyar Regency, at an elevation of 461 meters above sea level. The approach employed was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RAKL) with two factors: type of manure (T0: No Manure, T1: Duck Manure, T2: Cow Manure) and pruning type. The study's findings revealed that (1) treatment with various types of manure had a significant effect on the parameters of plant stem length, wet stover weight, number of flowers, number of fruit ovaries, and fruit length. Fruit weight per plant and fruit number per plot are both significantly affected. (2) The pruning procedure had a substantial impact on wet stover weight, number of flowers, number of ovaries, fruit length, fruit weight per plant, and fruit weight per plot. has a significant impact on the number of fruit parameters per plot. (3) The effect of manure and pruning on cucumber yield was highly significant in terms of number of flowers, number of fruit ovaries, fruit length, and fruit weight per plant. It has a considerable impact on wet stover weight, fruit number, and fruit weight per plot. The T1P2 treatment produced the best yield, with a fruit weight per plot of 17.53 kg (87.68 tons per ha). The T2P0 treatment produced the lowest fruit weight per plot, with a yield of 11.97 kg (59.85 tonnes per Ha). The use of manure and chicken trimming, either separately or in combination, has a beneficial effect on cucumber growth and yield, implying that this treatment is helpful for enhancing cucumber productivity.
