Abstract

The failure of tomato harvesting, which happens to some agricultural lands in Indonesia, compels farmers to utilize liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). Liquid organic fertilizer can be applied to escalate tomato immune system against phytophthora, a fungus-like organism which frequently stampedes tomato plants. Existing LOF employed by farmers has not maximally increased the tomato plants growth. KELIA is a LOF composed of Keong tutut (tutut snails), Limbah sayur (vegetable waste), and Arang (charcoal). Tutut snails, recognized better as rice field pests, were chopped and mixed with vegetable waste and charcoal with a proportion of 5: 5: 1. Researchers gave KELIA to tomato plants for 77 days with concentration of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%. With a four repetition of complete randomized design, results showed that the best tomato growth (indicated with plant height, leaf length, and leaf numbers) was KELIA LOF with 50% concentration.
