Pengaruh Jarak Lampu LED dan Jenis Media Tanam Terhadap Microgreen Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.
This study aimed to determine the effect of the distance of the LED lights and the type of planting media on the growth and yield of microgreen basil. The study was conducted in March July 2019 at the Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (AIAT) DKI Jakarta. The experimental design used is a split plot design which consists of two factors with 6 replications. The first factor was the distance of the LED lights consisting of 3 levels i.e. J1(20 cm) J2 (40 cm) J3 (60 cm) and the second factor was the planting media consisting of 4 levels i.e. M1 (zeolite) M2 (rockwool) M3 (vermiculite) dan M4 (husk charcoal) The results showed that the distance of the light that was getting closer gave a higher light intensity, but the temperature and humidity of the air in the microclimate of the study were not much different. The treatment distance of the LED lights has a significant effect on the variable of fresh weight and chlorophyll content in microgreens. Meanwhile, the planting media treatment had a significant effect on plant height, fresh weight, and leaf chlorophyll variables, while the LED lamp spacing treatment and the interaction between the two treatments gave a significant effect only on the fresh weight variable and the microgreen chlorophyll content. The recommended LED distance based on this research is 20 cm (J1) growing media that gives the best results are rockwool and vermiculite. Keyword:
