Abstract:
Bangun-bangun plant (Coleus amboinicus) is considered by some of people
of Northern Sumatra as vegetables, as well as herbal medicine for cough, oral
ulceration, and blood cleanser for female (during postnatal hemorrhage or in
menstrual period). Bangun-bangim plant is suspected containing bio-active
compoimd which can act as antiseptic, antiinflanmiation, antioxidant. The bioactive
substance might be phenolic, or antioxidant. This research is aimed at
determining total phenolic content and antioxidant activity which is planted
organically with bokashi fertilizer and extract of fermented plant (EFP). Bangunbangun
plant is planted by using a complete random design with 5 treatments, that
is 1) bokashi fertilizer + extract of fermented spices, 2) bokashi fertilizer + extract
of fermented fruit of mahkota dewa, 3) bokashi fertilizer + EMS, 4) bokashi
fertilizer without EFP (confrol-1), 5) without bokashi and EFP (control-2), and 6)
samples from conventional farmers (control-3) . Each of treatment is repeated 3
times. Obtained data is statistically analyzed with ANOVA and continued with
advance test of DNMRT level 5%.
The result showed that application of organically planted generally gives
better results for all analysis compared to control. The highest result for all
antioxidant analysis is obtained from the treatment of bokashi fertilizer + extract
of fermented spices (RR) and value the was the difference significance of paired
to control-3, control-2, and control-1 (P<0,05).
