Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of doses of oil palm shell ash and dolomite on the growth and production of maize plants. This study used a factorial randomized block design consisting of two factors. The first factor is the dose of palm shell ash (A) which consists of four levels, namely: (A0) = 0 g (0 tons/ha), (A1) = 30 g/polybag (6 tons/ha), (A2) = 60 g/polybag (12 tonnes/ha) and (A2) = 90 g/polybag (18 tonnes/ha). The second factor was dolomite (D) dosing which consisted of three levels: (D0) = 0 g (0 tons/ha), (D1) = 15 g/polybag (3 tons/ha) and (D2) = 30 g /polybag (6 tonnes/ha). Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, cob length without cob, cob diameter without cob, cob weight with husk, cob weight without cob and straw weight. The effect of the dose of oil palm shell ash depends on the dose of dolomite which is shown in the diameter of the cobs without husks, in treatment D0 the dose of palm ashes 78.07 g/polybag resulted in a maximum cob diameter without husks of 3.95 cm, treatment D1 increased linearly, treatment D2 the dose of palm shell ash 85.03 g/polybag resulted in a maximum diameter of cobs without husk of 3.98 cm. The largest straw weight was 311.30 g with a dose of shell ash of 56.93 g/polybag.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of planting media (Top soil Ultisol, Sand and Goat Manure) on the growth of Porang (Amorphophallus muelleri) seedlings. This study used a non-factorial randomized block design (RAK). The treatment factor was the composition of the growing media which consisted of 7 levels of treatment, namely: A = Topsoil ultisol 100%, B = 100% goat manure, C = 100% sand, D = Topsoil ultisol + goat manure + sand (1 : 1: 1 : 1), E = Topsoil ultisol + goat manure + sand (1 : 2: 1), F = Topsoil ultisol + goat manure + sand (2 : 1: 1), G = Topsoil ultisol + goat manure + sand ( 1:1:2). The parameters observed were the percentage of germination, plant height, stem diameter and leaf area of the plant. Based on the results of the study, it can be stated that the composition of a mixture of topsoil ultisol, goat manure and sand has a significant effect on the growth of porang seedlings. The best growth of porang seedlings was found in the composition of topsoil, sand and goat manure with a ratio of 1: 1: 2 (E). The application of goat manure and sand on top soil ultisol had a significant effect on plant height, stem diameter and leaf area, but had no significant effect on the percentage of seedling growth.

The purpose of this study was to determine the application of MKP fertilizer and EM4 concentration on the growth development of chili peppers (Capsicum annum L.). This research was carried out at the Research Field of the Faculty of Agriculture on Jalan Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport, Blang Bintang District, Aceh Besar District, Cot Karieng Village, Aceh Besar Province. The research time was ± 3 months, starting from the beginning of November 2021 to the end of January 2023. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) 4x4 Factorial Pattern with 3 replications. The first factor was the concentration of mono potassium phosphate (MKP) fertilizer with 4 levels, namely: M0 = control, M1 = 250 ml of water, M2 = 500 ml of water, M3 = 750 ml of water. The second factor was the concentration of EM4 consisting of 4 levels, namely: E0 = control, E1 = 5 ml of water, E2 = 10 ml, E3 = 15 ml of water. The results showed that the concentration of mono Potassium Phosphate (M) had a significant effect on fruit length observations, but had no significant effect on plant height observations at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after planting. And did not significantly affect the observation of plant height 15 and 30 days after planting and fruit length observations. There was an interaction that had a very significant effect due to the concentration of mono potassium phosphate (M) fertilizer and the concentration of EM4 (E) which had a significant effect on the observation of fruit length. And did not significantly affect the observation of plant height aged 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after planting.
