Abstract

Research on the cultivation of king grass (Pennisetum purpureophoides) was conducted to obtain information on growth, productivity, and continuity in providing forage for a sustainablee ruminant farming business. One of the cultivation factors is fertilization using beef cow manure as a renewable, inexhaustible natural resource or organic fertilizer. Improving the quality beef manure is important for better stimulation of plant growth and production. Fertilizer can be enriched with Azolla microphylla as a good nitrogen contributor. This study used beef cow dung fertilizer at doses of 10, 20, 30 tons per hectare per defoliation, and Azolla microphylla enrichment by 0%, 10%, and 20 % as treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD). The observed variables were plant growth (plant height, stem diameter, number of plants, and number of leaves as production), every 14 days until harvesting on day 42. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively based on the dynamics of plant growth. The result showed that the growth dynamics of the king grass were strongly influenced by fertilizer and plant’s age but no interaction each other. In conclusion fertilizer made of beef cattle dung enriched with Azolla microphylla is a feasible nitrogen source. The optimum results were obtained from using 30 tons beef cattle dung enriched with 20% Azolla microphylla to fertilize per hectare per defoliation soil.

Abstract

Fertilization step is the main strategy in producing good plants. Dairy cow dung as a renewable natural resource is abundant and can be a source of additional income for farmers if it becomes superior compost. Through the enrichment of various types and doses of inorganic fertilizers, it is expected to have economic value, especially for feed crops. The aim of the study was to obtain a superior compost formula for dairy cow dung enriched with various types and doses of inorganic fertilizers on the production and nutritional value of pennisetum grass. Using a nested design with the main treatment of 3 types of pennisetum grass (King, Gajah and Odot), the treatment children were enrichment of 3 inorganic fertilizers (Urea, NPK and ZA) with 3 doses (equivalent to 100, 200 and 300 kg urea per hectare per defoliation) with 3 repetitions. The study was conducted on plots measuring 1 x 1 square meter at the third defoliation growth. Parameters observed were fresh forage production and nutritional quality (crude protein, crude fiber and crude fat content). The data obtained were analyzed based on Nested Design, BNJ and regression. The results showed that dairy cow dung can be made into superior compost, enriched with 300 kg of NPK and ZA fertilizers equivalent to urea fertilizer and has provided fresh forage production and good nutritional quality on all Pennisetum grasses.
