Abstract
This study aims to determine the Effect of Providing Catfish Pond Water on the Growth and Production of Patchouli Plants (Pogostemon cablin Benth). The study has been completed at the Alexa School Complex, Lotta Village, Pineleng District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. The study was carried out for approximately 5 months, starting from May 2024 to October 2024. The research method used in this study was a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) consisting of 6 treatment levels, each consisting of 3 groups. Based on this design, the experimental unit is 18 units. Each experimental unit is designed to consist of 4 plants in polybags and 3 of them were used as sample plants. The total number of plants in this research activity was 72 plants. The results of the study showed that the provision of Catfish Pond Water treatment had a significant effect on the observation parameters of the Number of Leaves, Wet Weight of Stems and Wet Weight of Patchouli Leaves. Referring to the results of the study that have been obtained with the research conducted, it can be concluded that the Provision of Catfish Pond Maintenance Water Treatment had a significant effect on all observation parameters in the form of the number of leaves, wet weight of stems, wet weight of leaves and it was found that the best treatment was in the N5 treatment of providing catfish pond maintenance water (concentration 500 ml/plant) in terms of observing the number of leaves (47.66 strands), Wet Weight of Stems (2.71 kg), wet weight of leaves (3.65 kg).
