EFEKTIVITAS PENGGUNAAN BIO-TRAY PADA PROSES TRANSPLANTING TANAMAN SAYURAN DALAM KEGIATAN URBAN FARMING

Urban Farm DB summary

A study tested the effectiveness of "bio-trays" — an organic tray innovation intended to reduce root system damage during vegetable seedling transplanting in urban farming. Using a randomized block design with four tray materials (coconut coir, sugarcane stem, banana stem, and a plastic control), tested on mustard greens (Brassica juncea) and cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens), the bio-trays performed as well as the plastic control trays, indicating no negative impact on plant growth from the seedling to harvest/production stage.
