CHARACTERISTICS CARROT (DAUCUS CAROTA) OF APPLICATION RESULTS OF GROWTH-PROMOTING BACTERIA ONE STEP TOWARDS A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTAL CULTIVATION (a) Doctoral Student, Agricultural Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Brawijaya University, East Java, Indonesia Abstract Carrot cultivation uses the application of growth-promoting bacteria to reduce the use of chemicals during cultivation, as well as towards organic farming. This research was conducted in Mayungan Village, Baturiti District, Tabanan, Bali. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using the application of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) during cultivation as well as the characteristics of carrots produced. This research uses factorial group design with 2 factors. The first factor is the duration of soaking the seeds with PGPR namely 0, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, the second factor is the use of PGPR when watering the plants in the beds, namely: 0; 1.25; 2.5 and 3.75 cc L-1. Observations included the amount of harvest, residual levels of insecticide, beta carotene levels, vitamin C, total dissolved solids, texture and brightness levels. The results showed that the use of PGPR did not affect the amount of yield but the profenofos insecticide residue levels were not detected, the results compared with conventional carrots. Carrot cultivation by handling soaking seeds for 10 minutes and using PGPR when watering plants in beds as much as 1.25 cc L-1 with characteristics of beta carotene levels of 54.90 mg 100g-1, TPT 3.03 %brix, Vitamin C 195.32 mg 100ml-1, texture 36.75 kg.m sec-2 and brightness levels 40.07. Keywords: carrots, PGPR, organic farming and characteristics. Topic: WASTE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT |
