Penelititian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh level pupuk NPK terhadap morfologi dan produksi tanaman chicory (Cichorium intybus cv Cropmark) pada regrowth pertama. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Lahan Koleksi Hijauan Makanan Ternak dan Pastura (HMTP), Fakultas Peternakan, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Chicory ditanam pada plot berukuran 1x1,2 m2. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga perlakuan yaitu level pupuk NPK 0, 50 dan 100 kg/ha dengan 4 kali pengulangan. Pengambilan data morfologi tanaman meliputi tinggi tanaman, panjang tanaman, jumlah daun dan lebar daun, serta produksi biomassa (produksi segar). Pengukuran produksi tanaman chicory dilakukan pada umur tiga minggu setelah panen pertama. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan analisis variansi berdasarkan RAL dan dilanjutkan dengan Duncan Multiple Range Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pupuk NPK berpengaruh nyata (P<0>regrowth pertama
This study aimed to determine the effect of NPK fertilizer levels on the morphology and production of chicory (Chicorium intybus cv Ciromak) during the first regrowth period. The research was conducted at the Forage Crop Collection Field and Pasture (HMTP), Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Chicory was planted in plots measuring 1 × 1.2 m². The study used three fertilizer treatments consisting of 0, 50, and 100 kg NPK/ha with four replications. The observed morphological variables included plant height, plant length, number of leaves, leaf width, and biomass production (fresh weight). Measurements were carried out at three weeks after the first harvest. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results showed that NPK fertilizer application significantly affected the number of leaves (11.66, 11.08, and 15.83 leaves) and fresh biomass production (9.93 tons/ha, 16.23 tons/ha, and 20.00 tons/ha) at NPK levels of 0, 50, and 100 kg/ha, respectively, but had no significant effect on plant height, plant length, and leaf width. The application of 100 kg/ha NPK fertilizer increased leaf number and fresh biomass production compared to 0 and 50 kg/ha NPK treatments. It can be concluded that increasing NPK fertilizer levels can improve leaf number and biomass production of chicory during the first regrowth period.
