OPTIMALISASI PENGGUNAAN PUPUK KOMPOS DENGAN PENAMBAHAN EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISM 10 (EM10) PADA PRODUKTIVITAS TANAMAN JAGUNG (ZEA MAYS L.)
ABSTRACT: This research is
aimed to determine the effect of growing media composition, the addition
different concentration of EM10 fertilizer, and interaction between the
composition of the growing media with different concentration of EM10
fertilizer on Zea mays growth and productivity. This research was conducted in
Home Composting of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta from June until October
2013. This study used Random Grouped for Factorial Design 2 x 5 wth 3
repetitions. First factor was plant media dose (M), consist of two extents, M1
(compost:soil = 1:1) and M2 (compost:soil = 1:2). The second factor was
fertilizer concentration (D), consist of five extents, DO (no fertilizer),D1
(Urea: 0,9 g, SP-36: 0,9 g, KCl: 0,45 g), D2 (10 ml EM10), D3 (15 ml EM10), and
D4 (20 ml EM10). The obtained data was analyzed using Analysis of
Varians(ANOVA) and Duncan test when there is a significant difference..The
result showed plant media (M2) with ratio composition of compost and soil was
1:2 could increase the stem diameter at harvest time. 20 ml concentration of
EM10 could increase the stem diameter’s growth (2.29 mm) at harvest time,
similarly 15 ml EM10 could increase the cob’s productivity (1.66 cobs). The
interaction of composition plant media and fertilizer concentration of EM10 did
not influence corn’s growth and productivity.
