This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fertilization based on nutrient requirements and production targets of green mustard (Brassica juncea. L) in a hydroponic system. The study involved varying fertilizer dosages and integrating them into the hydroponic system to assess the growth and production of mustard plants. The results showed that increasing fertilizer dosages in line with production targets could enhance plant growth, such as plant height, leaf count, and leaf width, as well as plant production in terms of wet and dry weights. Integrating fertilizer dosages with the hydroponic system also demonstrated increased effectiveness of fertilization on the growth and production of mustard plants. The interaction between increasing fertilizer dosages and the hydroponic system also positively impacted mustard plant production. The role of the hydroponic system in improving the efficiency of complete fertilizer application in mustard cultivation was evidenced by an increase in production yields of up to 24 tons/ha. These findings indicate that adjusting fertilizer dosages to match plant nutrient requirements and integrating them with a hydroponic system can enhance the growth and production of green mustard plants under hydroponic conditions.

This research was carried out with the aim of finding out the effect of the Case Based Learning learning model on the ability to write explanatory text. The population of this study was all students of class XI SMA Negeri 3 Medan, totaling 6 classes. Sampling in this study was carried out randomly, so 2 classes were obtained, namely class XI MIA-2 consisting of 30 students as the experimental class and class XI MIA-5 consisting of 30 students as the control class. From the data collection and processing that has been carried out, it shows that the ability to write explanatory text in class using the conventional model obtained an average value of 67.08 and a standard deviation of 9.87. Apart from that, judging from the normality test results of the Case Based Learning learning model, the results were Lcount<Ltable, namely 0.137<0.161. Then in the conventional learning model Lcount<Ltable is 0.124<0.161. Because Lcount is smaller than Ltable, the two data above are said to be normally distributed. Likewise, from the results of the data homogeneity test, namely Fcount<Ftable, namely 0.51<0.53, the data comes from a homogeneous population. After the normality test and homogeneity test, hypothesis testing is then carried out. From hypothesis testing, the results obtained are Tcount>Ttable with hypothesis test results of 5.85>1.699, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted so this proves that the Case Based Learning model is more influential in improving the ability to write explanatory text in class XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Medan .
