Abstract

Sorghum is one of developed plants for food diversification because it caontains nutrients and has the potential to be an alternative crop. This is also supported by the advantages of sorghum such as adaptive, drought tolerant, salinity tolerant, wide adaptabiliti and lower water requirements for season compared to other commodities. Behind its advantages, soghum has low vigor and viability. Low vigor and viability cause low growth simultaneously. The uneven growth of sorghum makes fertilizer application and harvesting more difficult. It also increases labor costs because maintenance and harvesting cannot be done at the sam time. This can be overcome by seed priming. The purpose of seed priming is to increase the germination rate, percentage of gemination, simultaneity of growth and germination speed. This research was conducted in a controlled temperature room using a factorial randomized block design. First factor is 3 sorghum varieties and the second factor is kind of solvent (Water, Hot water, KNO3, and Ascorbic acid). The result showed that there was an interaction between sorghum varieties and kind of solvent. KNO3 gives optimal results in all sorghum varieties compared to other ingredients.

Abstract

Purple corn is a commodity that is not been widely cultivated in Indonesia. The nutritional value of purple corn is higher than yellow and white corn. Purple corn contains anthocyanin components that act as antioxidant compounds in the prevention of several diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cholesterol, and coronary heart disease. Purple corn can also be used as a raw material for making additional food. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction effect of rabbit manure liquid fertilizer (LOF) concentration and application time on the growth and yield of purple sweet corn. The research was carried out at the Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kadiri Islamic University from September to November 2021. This factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized block design consisting of 2 factors. The first factor was the concentration of LOF (U) which consisted of 4 levels, namely U0 is 0 mL/plant, U1 is 20 mL/plant, U2 is 30 mL/plant, and U3 is 40 mL/plant. The second factor was the application time of rabbit LOF (A) involving 2 levels, namely A1 is 1 week before planting and A2 is 1 week after planting.  The combination of both factors resulted in 8 treatment combinations.  Each treatment was replicated 3 times. The results showed that there was no interaction between the concentration of rabbit’s manure LOF and application time on the growth and yield of purple sweet corn. The concentration of LOF had a significant effect on cob weight, while the time of application had a significant effect on cob weight without cob and sweetness levels.
