Provision of rice husk ash on the tomatoes significantly affect the growth rate of plant height and suppress the attack of pests and diseases (Harahap et al. , 2. Physically, rice husk ash has a light texture so that it can help improve the physical properties of soil textured clay and a shortage of organic elements. In addition rice husk ash can improve the porosity of the soil so that the soil has aeration is better and is helpful to the growth and development of plant roots, especially for plants that have roots that are shallow and soft like tomato plants and pepper (Abdul et al. , 2. This study aims to determine the optimal dose of goat manure and rice husk ash and their interaction for the growth of Red Spinach (Amaranthus Gangeticu. INTRODUCTION The market demand of Spinach (Amaranthus gangeticu. is increasing so it makes the high prospect of the development of spinach to grow optimally because the soil type is dominated by inceptisol and ultisol which has a low soil fertility. Organic material application can improve soil fertility through improvement of the physical, chemical, and biological soil so that it is able to support the growth of red spinach (Rauf and Harahap. Spinach planted at the beginning of the dry season on less fertile clay soil can produce promising results if the soil is given sufficient Red spinach cultivation areas that are less porous provide air by circulating air through the ports between the roots (Agoesdy et al. , 2. Fertilizer like organic fertilizer often used to improve physical soil properties and its enriched with materials that cannot strengthen the soil fertility (Walida et al. , 2. One type of manure commonly obtained by traditionally farmers is goat manure or cow manure. Syawal . , applying goat manure at a dose of 5 tons/ha on inceptisol land increase organic C and CEC of the land compared to the control. The results of Syawal and Rauf . research show that the applying 10 tons/ha of goat manure will provide better weight fresh lettuce plants if followed by the addition of inorganic fertilizer. A part from applying manure, a source of nutrients from the organic material which can also improve the properties of the soil are rice husk ash. When burned rice husk will produce ash containing high level of silica and certain elements (Solar et al. ,2. According to Harahap et al. , . , rice husk ash contents silica of 0,23%, potassium oxide (K2O) of 0. 39%, alumina (Al2O. carbon of 2,23%, calcium oxide (CaO) of 58%, magnesium oxide (MgO) of 0. 53 %. Applying rice husk ash to the soil can help aerate the soil thereby facilitating the movement of air and water in the soil and really help the plant root system (Harahap and Walida, 2. Rice husk ash is the result of the burning of tice husk before they burn out. Rice husk MATERIALS AND METHODS This research carried out in Mas Graha Village. Labuhanbatu District with an altitude of 18 meters above sea level from August to December 2020. The material used are red spinach seeds, rice husk ash, water, chemical used for soil and plants analysis in the The tool used are 35x40 polybags, cutting knives, analytical scales, scissors, mortar, measuring flask, bucket, caliper, neat ropes, hoes, measuring tape, scales, and a number of tools that are used in the laboratory for analysis soil and plant The study will be conducted with the RBCD . andom block complete desig.

Based on the results of the average difference test in Table 1, it shows that the application of goat manure and rice husk ash was significantly affect on the height of spinach while the interaction between the goat manure and rice husk ash was not significantly affect on the height of spinach. Based on the results of Table 1. The Combination Effect of Goat Manure and Rice Husk Ash Application on the height of red spinach plants (Amaranthus gangeticu.

Goat Manure The results of the analysis of variance showed that the dose of rice husk ash had a significant effect on plant height. Plant height is a plant measurement that is often observed, both as an indicator of growth and as a parameter used the plant are often observed, both as an indicator of growth as well as the parameters used to measure environmental This is based on the fact that plant height is the easiest measure of grow to see (Rahmwaty et al. , 2. This is presumably because rice husk ash is able to provide the availability of nutrient nitrogen sufficient for the growth of generative Results of the study Luta et al. , . treatment with the addition of manure had no significant effect on plant height. The sustainable use of manure fertilizer provide a positive impact on the fertility of the soil. Fertile soil will facilitate the development of plant roots. Plant roots can grow well so they can easily absorb water and nutrients available in the soil so that plant can grow and develop optimally and produce high yields (Solar et al. Jurnal Al Ulum LPPM Universitas Al Washliyah Medan Vol. 12 No. 1 Tahun 2024 P-ISSN 2338-5391 | E-ISSN 2655-9862 Number of leaves of red spinach plant average in Table 2 shows that the no goat manure application (K0 or contro. significantly different with all other treatments (K1.

In goat manure treatment, the highest number of red spinach plant leaves was at the K2 level . ,77 strand. and the lowest was at the K0 level . ,00 The results of different effect from application goat manure and rice husk ash on number of leaves are presented in Table 2. Based on the results of the average difference test in Table 2, it shows that the application of goat manure and rice husk ash had significantly affect on the number of spinach leaves . while the interaction between the goat manure and rice husk ash had not significantly affect on the number of spinach Based on the results of different test Table 2.

Goat Manure While the provision of rice husk ash i. A2 significantly different with all other treatments (A0 and A. The A1 treatment was not significantly different from the A0 on the number of leaves red spinach plant. In rice husk ash treatment, the highest number of red spinach plant leaves was at the A2 level . ,25 strand. and the lowest was at the A0 level . ,75 strand. This shows that there is a significant difference in treatment with all the treatments. This is because the red spinach plant optimaly absorbs nutrient from the soil so that they have a direct effect on leaf growth. Blanco et al. stated that elements (N), (P) and (K) plays a role in stimulating cell division at the top of the meristem tissue which will stimulate cell elongation so that the plant will grow tall, cell division in shoot meristem will also followed division of leaf primordia cells that will form leaves later. Weight Per Plant Sample Of Plant Red Spinach The results of different effect from application goat manure and rice husk ash on Weight Per Plant Sample are presented in Table 3. Based on the results of the average difference test in Table 3, it shows that the application of goat manure had significantly affect on weight per plant sample application of rice husk ash had not significantly affect on weight per plant sample as well as the interaction between the goat manure and rice husk ash. Based on the results of different test average in Table 3 shows that the no goat manure application (K0 or contro. significantly different with all other treatments (K1. K2, and K.

Goat Manure This is presumably because the growth rate of spinach increases because the provision of goat manure and rice husk ash can meet the plantAos nutrient content needs. The more doses of goat manure and rice husk ash given, the better the plant growth, thus increasing the production of red spinach plants. Where the provision of the goat manure and rice husk ash will increase the growth of green spinach plants and physiological processes in the plant tissue will run well, so that the result of photosynthesis are translocated into the plant. This is in accordance with the statement of Pane et al. , . , which states that to form plant tissue nutrient are needed, with the presence of balance nutrient it will increase plant weight.
