Abstract

Dahlias are ornamental plants that are an ideal for landscapes and gardens because their dliversity in shape and size adds visual interest and texture. These plants grow well in a number of weather conditions including those around Mount Merapi in Central Java. This study aimed to determine the concentration of a foliar fertilizer to promote growth and flowering of three dahlia cultivars. The study was conducted at Kinahrejo, Cangkringan, Sleman Regency using a randomized complete block design with two factors: foliar fertilizer application at 1, 2, and 3 g/L; and three cultivars namely, Dahlia Bishop of Llandaff, Dahlia Sakkuru Apricot and Dahlia Fleur. The fertilizer used was Grow More and was applied 2, 4, 6 after weeks after planting. The result showed that there was no interaction between fertilizer concentration and dahlia cultivar. Fertilizer at 2 or 3 g/L produced taller plants than applications at 1 g/L. Application at 2 g/L produced plants with greater leaf areas per plant and leaf fresh and dry weights than the other treatments. Fertilizer concentration did not affect flower diameter nor were there any differences among the diameters of the flowers produced by the three different cultivars. Therefore, Growmore at 2 g/L is recommended for Ise and can be used to aid the development of agrotourism around Mount Merapi.
