PENGARUH JENIS KOMPOS TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI TANAMAN JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays saccharata Sturt)
Abstract: The research aims to
determine the effect of type of compost, and know the kind of good compost for
the growth and production of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt). This
research was conducted at the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture,
University of Riau in May to August 2015. This study used a completely
randomized design (CRD), which consists of six treatments, each treatment was
repeated 4 times to obtain 24 units of the experiment, while the treatment is
given is Ko (without compost), K1 (10 ton / ha compost cassava peel), (10 tons
/ ha of compost PEFB), (10 tons / ha of rice straw compost), and (10 ton / ha
maize straw compostg). Parameters measured were plant height, leaf length, leaf
width, stem diameter, while the male flowers appear, while the female flowers
appear, cob length, cob diameter, number of rows / ear, seed number / line, and
the weight of variance followed cob.The reanlted by Duncan test New Multiple
Range test at 5% level. The results showed that the administration of the
various types of compost (cassava peel, PEFB, rice straw, water hyacinth and
corn straw) significant effect on all parameters (plant height, leaf length,
leaf width, stem diameter, time appears the male flowers, time appears flower
female, cob length, cob diameter, heavy cob without husks, seed number per line
and number of lines per cob) on the growth and yield of sweet corn. Giving
compost cassava peel with a dose of 10 ton / ha gives better results on the
growth and yield of sweet corn. It can be seen from all the parameters
observed.
