This research aims to obtain EC values that produce the best plant growth. This study used five EC treatment of nutrients ( 1 mS / cm, 2 mS / cm, 3 mS / cm, 4 mS / cm, and 5 mS / cm). Each treatment was applied to the randomized block design (RBD) with 4 replications and the least significant diference (LSD) was used to separate means at 0,05 significant level.. Based on the results of data analysis it is known that the best EC value for melon growth is 5 mS / cm, because it produces plant height and number of leaves more higher than EC 1 mS / cm and 2 mS / cm, but as good as EC 3 mS / cm and 4 mS / cm in the 5 week after planting. Besides that EC 5 mS / cm also produces leaf width more higher than EC 1 mS / cm but as good as EC 2 mS / cm, EC 3 mS / cm and 4 mS / cm in the 7 week after planting. However, if you consider the many uses of nutrients during the cultivation process, the best EC is EC 3 mS / cm. Keywords : EC, hydroponic, melon, nutrientDownloads
