ABSTRAK Pacar air (Impatiens balsamina L.) merupakan tanaman yang organ daunnya berkhasiat sebagai antibakteri dan antioksidan serta produksinya dipengaruhi oleh ketersedian unsur hara terutama jika ditanam di tanah mediteran (alfisol). Alfisol merupakan tanah bertekstur liat dengan kandungan nitrogen dan bahan organik rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian bahan organik pupuk kandang kambing terhadap pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman pacar air (Impatiens balsamina L.) di tanah mediteran (alfisol). Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari sampai April 2017 di rumah plastik Kebun Percobaan Prodi Agroteknologi, Universitas Trunojoyo Madura. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 6 perlakuan dosis pupuk kandang kambing yang terdiri dari : D0 (0 g/pot), D1 (21,5 g/pot), D2 (43 g/pot), D3 (64,5 g/pot), D4 (86 g/pot), dan D5 (107,5 g/pot). Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis menggunakan analisis sidik ragam dan dilanjutkan dengan BJND 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian dosis pupuk kandang kambing berpengaruh nyata terhadap parameter tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah cabang, luas daun, berat kering setiap organ tanaman, berat kering total tanaman, dan laju pertumbuhan absolut. Dosis pupuk kandang kambing 107,5 g/pot (D5) menghasilkan nilai tertinggi namun tidak berbeda nyata dengan dosis 86 g/pot (D4). Kata kunci : pertumbuhan vegetatif, tanaman pacar air (Impatiens balsamina L.), dosis pupuk kandang kambing

Balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.) is a nutritious plant as a antibacterial and antioxidan , whose production is influenced by the availability of nutrients, especially if planted in tanh mditeran (alfisol). Mediteran soil (alfisol) is a soil with low organic matter content, so it is necessary to add nutrients.The objective of this research from Februari to April 2017 was to investigate the effects of application of animal (goat) manure on the growthof balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.) grown on Alfisol. The research was conducted at green house, Agrotechnology Study Program, University of Trunojoyo Madura. This experiment emploiyed randomiced completely design with 6 treatments of the dosage of manure application and each treatment was replicated for 4 times. The treatments consisted of D0 (control, 0 gram/pot), D1 (21.5 grams/pot) , D2 (43 grams /pot), D3 (64.5 gram / pot), D4 (86 grams/pot), and D5 (107.5 grams /pot). The data were analysis by ANOVA and the difference among means was analysed by DMRT (p = 0.05). The results showed that increased dosage of goat manure increased plant height, leaf and branch number, leaf area, dry weight of parts of the plant, the total weight of the plant, and growth rate. The dosage of goat manure at D5 (107.5 grams/pot) tended to give highest result, but it was indifferent to the dosageat D4 (86 grams /pot). Keywords: vegetative growth, balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.), organic goat (manure)
