Abstract
Japanese cucumber is a horticultural plant from the Cucurbitaceae family. This plant is quite popular among Indonesians because of its taste and nutritional benefits. This study was conducted to determine the effect and optimal dosage of chicken manure fertilizer on the growth and yield of Japanese cucumbers. This research was conducted over two months from June to July 2025 in Lasang, Benteng Suru Village, Kuwus District, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This study used a non-factorial randomized block design consisting of 6 treatments and 4 replicates, resulting in 24 experimental units. Each treatment had 5 sample plants, resulting in 120 sample plants. The treatment levels in this study were P0 (no fertilizer), P1 (20 tons per hectare), P2 (30 tons per hectare), P3 (40 tons per hectare), P4 (50 tons per hectare), and P5 (60 tons per hectare). The results showed that the application of chicken manure fertilizer affects the number of leaves, flowering age, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, and fruit weight per plant. The P3 treatment with a chicken manure fertilizer dose of 40 tons per hectare in the P3 treatment is the optimal dose for increasing the growth and yield of Japanese cucumber plants.
