Abstract:

The anthocyanin content can be found in the butterfly pea flower, particularly in the petal, which is generally purple. This indicates that the generative phase of the butterfly pea plant, especially during flower formation, affects the flavonoid and anthocyanin content of the butterfly pea flowers. Several factors can influence flowering in butterfly pea cultivation, including environmental and genetic factors. This study aims to determine the highest antioxidant potential at the harvest age of butterfly pea flowers. The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with treatment factors including planting media and various types of banana peel organic fertilizer (POC) and green manure. The planting media treatments were: T0 = Soil (control), T1 = Soil and raw rice husks (1:1) / (V), T2 = Soil and burned rice husks (1:1) / (V), T3 = Soil and compost (1:1) / (V). The types of banana peel POC treatments were: K1 = POC from banana peel, K2 = Green manure from Paitan. The results showed that the treatment T2K1 (burned rice husk soil media and banana peel POC) had the highest antioxidant activity at 43.89% with a moisture content of 91.06% at the third harvest of butterfly pea flowers. This can be seen from the soil analysis results for T2, which showed an organic carbon content of 2.50 (high) and available phosphorus of 199.00 (very high), while the banana peel POC had an available phosphorus content of 0.52 (high).
