PENGARUH PEMBERIAN PUPUK KASCING DAN NPK TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays Var saccharata Sturt)
Abstract: Sweet corn (Zea mays
Var saccarata Sturt) widely used because it has the nutrients and relatively
high levels of sugar so it tastes sweeter than regular corn. Fertilization is
one of the important agronomic aspects considered as closely related to the
planting medium, for that is necessary for soil fertilization can provide
nutrients needed by plants sweet corn so that the results can be maximized.
This study aimed to determine the effect of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer on
the growth and yield of sweet corn and get the best treatment effect. Research
conducted at the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of
Riau, Pekanbaru. The study conducted from May to August 2014. The study was
carried out experiments using a randomized block design (RBD) factorial
consisting of two factors, namely vermicompost and NPK fertilizer with 3
replications. Parameters measured were plant height, harvest age, weight
cornhusk cob, cob weight without husk, production per plot, circumference cob
and length cob. The results showed vermicompost and NPK significantly affected
all parameters were observed. Doses vermicompost 4 tons/ha and 250 kg NPK/ha
gives the best results on the growth and yield of sweet corn compared with
other treatments.
