The Effect of Urea and Chicken Manure on the Population Growth of Moina sp

This study aims to determine the effect of urea and chicken manure on the population growth rate of Moina sp. This study used an experimental method with three treatments with three replications. Treatment A (control), B (urea fertilizer) at a dose of 0.2 g/liter of water and C (chicken manure) at a dose of 0.2 g/liter of water. The container used is a plastic container measuring 20 x 20 x 20 cm. The volume of water used is 5 liters. The stocking density of Moina sp is 30 individuals/liter of water. The observed parameter is the population growth rate of Moina sp. The results showed that the use of chicken manure resulted in a population growth rate of Moina sp. of 0.11 which was achieved until the fifteenth day. While using urea and control fertilizers did not produce a population growth rate, during maintenance Moina sp experienced death. The results of the analysis of variance showed that each treatment had a very significant effect. Followed by a follow-up test using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) that Treatment C (chicken manure) was significantly different from Treatments A (control) and B (urea fertilizer) and for treatments A (control) and B (urea fertilizer) were not significantly different at 5% level.
