Abstract

The cultivation of sweet corn currently relies on inorganic nutrient inputs, which often lead to excessive use of fertilizers and subsequent land degradation. To address this issue while maintaining land productivity, researchers have explored the application of vermicompost fertilizer, known for its positive impact on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties. The aims of study were to determine the vermicompost fertilizer doses applied at different times to enhance sweet corn growth and yield. The research was arranged in a completely randomized block design with a single factor by combining the doses of vermicompost (50% to 100%) and variations of application times (one to two weeks before planting). Each treatment was replicated three times. The results revealed that the 100% vermicompost applied two weeks before planting showed the highest increased on the plant height, leaf numbers, and the husk cob weight. The application of vermicompost as organic fertilizer on sweet corn cultivation enhanced the productivity of sweet corn.  Keywords: application times, environmental safety, organic farming, sweet corn, vermicompost

Abstract

One major problem of low mungbean production in Indonesia is the lack of high yielding varieties for marginal land. A study was done with an objective to compare growth and yield of twelve mung bean genotypes on ultisol fertilized with several doses of cow manure. Twelve mung bean genotypes were grown in a field under a randomized complete block design arranged in a Split Plot Design with 3 replications. The Main Plots were four doses of cow manure, i.e. 0, 3, 6 or 9 ton.ha-1 and the Sub-Plots were twelve mungbean genotypes, i.e. VR 3, VR 61, VR 88, VR 200, VR 204 K, VR 213 K, VR 266 ct, VR 341, VR 368, VR 601 m, VR 222 Walet and VR 1074 Vinna-1. The result showed that the interaction between cow manure doses and mungbean genotypes was only occured on number of leaf. Genotype VR 61 demonstrated the highest plant stature, the greatest pod number, the heafiest pod and seeds per plant. Increasing dose of cow manure until 9 tons.ha-1did not reach the optimum level for the growth and yield of mungbean genotypes yet, except on the number of leaf variable on genotype VR 3, VR 88, VR 200, VR 266 ct and VR 601.
