Aplikasi Kompos Serasah Jagung Degan Bahan Pengkaya Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Jagung Manis (Zea mays saccharata Sturt)
Abstract: Corn is the second
of carbohydrate sources after rice that holding the most important role as a
food source. Sweet corn is the one kind of corn that most people liked. This
corn lifespan is early-ripening, have a high price and contain a high sugar
that resulting as a business with a good prospects. The one ways that we can do
to get a good productivity is with fertilizing. Fertilizing with organic
compound such as compost can reduce the toxicity, plant nutrient buffer,
repairing soil structure, increasing the efficiency of fertilizer, reducing the
risk of erosion and helping on increasing supplied of macro and micro nutrient.
This research aim is to get the best richer substance for corn manure compost
that can support sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) growth and productions.
This research implementing experimentally used Complete Random Design, contain
5 treatments with 4 replications. The observing parameter is plant high, weight
of dry plant, appearing of male flower, appearing of female flower, corn stem
diameter, corn stem length, corn stem weight without husk per plot (g),
analysis of C-organic, N, P and K contained on compost. The gained data
analyzing used random analyzes and continued with Duncan test leveled 5 %. This
research result showed that giving a corn manure as richer substance can increasing
N, P and K of corn manure compost and give a same response at growth but it can
increasing the sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) productions.
