APLIKASI BIOKOMPOS STIMULATOR Trichoderma spp. DAN BIOCHAR TEMPURUNG KELAPA UNTUK PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL JAGUNG (Zea mays L.) DI LAHAN KERING
Abstract: The objective of
this research was to investigate the effect of applying biocompost stimulated
by Trichoderma spp. and biochar from coconut shell on the growth and yield of
maize (Zea mays L.) in the dryland of Akar-akar village, Sub-district of Bayan,
North Lombok. A field experiment had been carried out from August to December
2014 by using Split Plot design and Randomized Completelly Block Design (RCBD)
with two factors namely biocompost and biochar. The biocompost as sub plot was
applied at the rate of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 tonnes/ha; whereas the biochar
as mai n plot was applied at the rate of 0 or 20 tonnes/ha. The treatments were
replicated three times. The result showed that biocompost stimulated by
Trichoderma spp. could significantly increase the growth and yield of maize.
The application of biocompost at the rate of 15 tonnes/ha could increase the
growth and yield of dry shelled maize till 6,2 tonnes/ha.
