ABSTRACT
Kangkong (Ipomoea reptans) is one of the most consumed vegetables with a consumption rate, in 2020, of 3.784 kg/capita/year. However, the availability of kangkong still does not meet the needs of the community with per capita availability data of 1.03 kg/capita/year. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the production of kangkong, especially in urban areas, one of which is through an aquaponic system. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the composition and dosage of duck manure and compost on the growth of kangkong plants in aquaponic systems. The study used an experimental design with different factors, namely the provision of duck manure and compost with different compositions. There are five treatments with each gutter repeated as many as 26 plants. Each treatment is control (0% fertilizer / compost), duck manure 750 g (50%), duck manure 1.500 g (100%), compost 750 g (50%), compost 1.500 g (100%). The results showed that the treatment of 100% compost fertilizer (1.500 g) resulted in growth with the most optimal results on the number of leaves, root length, wet biomass, and dry biomass of kangkong plants.
