PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN ARANG SEKAM PADI DAN PUPUK KANDANG AYAM TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN JAGUNG (Zea mays L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using rice husk charcoal and chicken manure on the growth and yield of maize. The research was carried out at the Field Laboratory of Experimental Gardens II, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University, Kendari, from March to May 2022. The study was arranged based on a factorial design in groups consisting of 2 factors. The first factor was the provision of rice husk charcoal (P) consisting of 4 levels: P0 = without rice husk charcoal, P1 = rice husk charcoal 5 t ha-1, P2 = rice husk charcoal 10 t ha-1, P3 = rice husk charcoal 15 t ha-1, while the second factor is the provision of chicken manure (Y) consists of 3 levels: Y0 = without chicken manure, Y1 = chicken manure 5 t ha-1, Y2 = chicken manure 10 t ha-1. The variables observed were height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, weight of 100 seeds per plot, dry seed production per plot and production. The best treatment of rice husk charcoal at P1 (husk charcoal 5 t ha-1), the best treatment of chicken manure at Y2 (chicken manure 10 t ha-1) and the best interaction at P1Y1. Keywords: Rice Husk Charcoal, Chicken Manure.
