Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of a polybag-based verticulture cultivation system combined with chicken manure application on the growth and production of pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) in a limited land area. The research was conducted in Belang Malum Village, Sidikalang District, Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, from January to May 2026. A descriptive method was employed, utilizing practical plant cultivation via the verticulture system. The treatments involved applying chicken manure at various dosages, while the observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, leaf width, root length, and plant fresh weight. The results indicated that the verticulture system combined with chicken manure application effectively supported pakcoy growth and production. The treatment with a dosage of 150 g of chicken manure (P4) yielded the best results, with an average of 14 leaves, a root length of 6.4 cm, and a plant fresh weight of 55.2 g; in contrast, the treatment without chicken manure (P1) resulted in 9.8 leaves and a fresh weight of 32 g. These findings demonstrate that a polybag-based verticulture system combined with an appropriate dosage of chicken manure serves as a viable alternative for pakcoy cultivation on limited land, as it enhances both vegetative growth and crop yield.
