Abstract

Tomatoes are a commodity with considerable economic value and marketing potential in Bengkulu City, Indonesia. Ultisols, which include characteristics such as low pH and soil fertility, occupy the majority of the land in Bengkulu City. Fertilization is required to increase soil fertility. The study aimed to determine the dosage of chicken manure for tomato plant growth and yield and tomato varieties suitable for cultivation in Ultisol. The research was conducted in Bentiring Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City, Indonesia. A Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with two factors was employed in the study. The results showed an interaction between the dose of chicken manure and varieties on the variables of plant height, shoot dry weight, fruit weight/plant, fruit diameter, and the number of fruit/plant. The dose of chicken manure applied has a significant effect on plant fresh weight. Each tomato variety has a different flowering and harvesting period. Plant height, dry weight, fruit/plant weight, fruit diameter, and the number of fruits/plant all responded differently to increasing the amount of chicken manure. The three tomato varieties, Tymoti, Servo, and Permata, could all be cultivated in Ultisol.
