APLIKASI LIMBAH CAIR BIOGAS SEBAGAI PUPUK ORGANIK PADA TANAMAN JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays var. saccharata Sturt.)
Abstract: Sweet corn (Zea mays
var. Saccharata Sturt) is one of the crops which liked by people because it has
a good taste, and sweeter than ordinary corn. One of the effort that can be do
to improve and increase soil fertility is apply bioslurry organic fertilizer.
Bioslurry is the end product of the animal waste processing for biogas
energy. Bioslurry containing elements
that need for sweet corn such as N, P, K. This study aimed to know the effect
of bioslurry and get the best dose of bioslurry on the growth and production of
sweet corn. This research was experimently using a randomized block design
(RBD), which consists of 6 treatments and 4 replications. Parameters measured
were plant height (cm), number of leaves (pieces), flowers appear male and
female flowers (HST), weight cob with husk and without husk (gram), cob
diameter (cm) and production per plot (gram). The results showed that the
bioslurry fertilizer application significantly affected plant height, number of
leaves, flowers appear male and female flowers, weight cob with husk and cob
without husk, cob diameter, and production per plot. Application at dose of 7.5
liters / 4.5 m² give the best results on the growth and production of sweet
corn than other treatments.
