Purple eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an agricultural commodity that has high economic value. Purple eggplant is a horticultural plant that needs to be large enough to be consumed as a vegetable or fresh vegetables. The problem that often occurs in cultivating purple eggplant is that farmers in Indonesia
experience crop failure because the cultivation used is not appropriate. Efforts to help the growth and development of purple eggplant by using the right fertilizer dosage and using egg shell fertilizer and pearl fertilizer 16:16:16. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of giving chicken egg shell fertilizer and 16:16:16 pearl fertilizer on the growth and yield of purple eggplant plants and to determine the interaction between laying hen eggshell fertilizer and 16:16:16 pearl fertilizer. The research was carried out at the Agrotechnology Innovation Center (PIAT) Gadjah Mada University which is located on Jl. Tanjungtirto, Tanjung, Kalitirto, Berbah District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region from 8 November 2023 to 16 January 2024. This
research used a Complete Randomized Block Design (RAKL) consisting of 2 factors with a dose of C1 eggshell fertilizer: 32 gr/plant , C2: 48 gr/plant and Pearl fertilizer dose 16:16:16 M1: 6.4 gr/plant, M2 8 gr/plant so there are 9 treatment combinations which are repeated 3 times. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (Anova) followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test with a level of 5%. The research results obtained showed that there was an interaction between the treatments of chicken eggshell fertilizer and pearl NPK fertilizer 16:16:16 on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves and number of fruit. The results of chicken egg shell fertilizer on purple eggplant have an effect on plant height parameters. A chicken eggshell fertilizer dose of 48 grams/plant (C2) produced a better number of fruit per plot compared to other doses with an average of 28.00 fruit per plot. The results of NPK pearl fertilizer 16:16:16 affect the parameters of plant height and number of fruit, the dose of NPK pearl fertilizer 16:16:16 8 grams/plant (M2) produces a
better number of fruit per plot compared to other doses with an average 29.11 pieces per plot.
