Abstract

Light use efficiency is a crucial parameter in plant growth associated with accumulation of energy interception. Nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency reduce leaf area index (LAI) and specific leaf nitrogen and phosphorus (SLN and SLP) content and reduce efficiency of light intercepted by plant canopy structure. This research was conducted in Kebun Bunga Mayang PTPN VII, North Lampung Regency, Lampung Province (04050’S, 104052’E, 38 m above sea level) from July 2008 to September 2009. Treatments were distributed in the field under a randomized complete block design factorial with three replications. The increase in nitrogen fertilizer (N) improved sugarcane light use efficiency. The light use efficiency of the sugarcane plants fertilized with 225 kg N ha-1 was 2.29 g MJ-1 at maximum stem phase. On the contrary, the increasing of phosphor (P) fertilizer did not affect light use efficiency but increased stem dry matter at maximum seedling phase or about 3 month after planting (3 MAP), at maximum stem phase (9 MAP), and at harvest (11 MAP); total dry matter at seedling phase (5 MAP) and at maximum stem phase (9 MAP). Nitrogen did not interact with P in affecting light use efficiency. Keywords: fertilization N and P, interception radiation, light use efficiency, sugarcane

Abstract

Intercropping system of maize and cassava has been practiced widely by Indonesian farmer on dry land. Competition between the plant will happen in the system. Field experiment to understand about the competition has been conducted.   Field experiment of growing maize (Arjuna, Pioneer 4, and Cargill 9 in various planting densities) and cassava (Adira 1) was conducted for monoculture and intercropped plants.  Intercropped cassava increased intraspesific competition of maize.  Yield of maize variety of Arjuna, Pioner 4, and Cargill 9 decreased by about 9.7%, 6.7%, and 16.9% respectively. Maize also reduced growth and yield of cassava. When intercropped with Arjuna, pioner 4, and Cargill 9 at the highest density (80 000 plants ha-1), yield of cassava tuber decreased by about 40.6%, 43% and 64.3%, respectively. However, the intercropping still gave a better land productivity, where land equivalent ratio (LER) was larger than 1.0.    Key words: intercropping, competition, maize, cassava
