Respon Jagung Sayur (Baby corn) Terhadap Ketersediaan Air dan Pemberian Bahan Organik
Abstrak: This study aimed to
find out the response of baby corn to the soil water availability and organic matter application
The research was carried out at horticultural garden of Socah and conducted from May to July 2007.
Completely randomized block design with two factors and three replications was
applied in this study. First factor was
the application of organic matter: consisted two levels, namely M1 (without
organic matter addition), M2 (the mixture of red Mediterranean soil and organic
matter= 2:1). Second factor was the
capacity of water availability consisted four levels, namely : A1 (100% field
water capacity), A2 (83% of field water capacity), A3 (66% field water
capacity) and A4 (50% field water capacity).
The results showed that the treatments had interaction with plant
height, leaf area, and cob length. It also had significant influence (p = 0,
01) on leaf number, cob diameter dan wet cob weight. The combined M2A1 showed
the best result concerning with plant height, leaf area and cob length at the
harvest time. The apllication of organic
matter (M2) could increase wet cob weight and cob diameter. Water availabilty
on 100%field capacity (A1) could
increase wet cob weight and cob number.
