Pengaruh aplikasi pupuk organik dan pupuk anorganik terhadap pertumbuhan, produksi serta mutu benih kacang tanah (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

The research was carried out at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Soil Science Laboratory, Laboratory of Biology and Laboratory of Plant Ecology IPB Darmaga, Bogor from March to July 2006. The aim of the research was to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and seed quality of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). A single factor experiment with 9 treatments was arranged in a Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The treatments consist of : recommended dosage of inorganic fertilizer (20 kg/ha Urea, 45 kg/ha TSP, 50 kg/ha KCI) = PI, Goat manure (5 ton/ha) = P2, combination of Goat manure (5 ton/ha) and inorganic fertilizer (20 kg/ha Urea, 45 kg/ha TSP and 50 kg/ha KCI) = P3, Rhizobium inoculant (40 g/2000 m2) = P4, combination of Rhizobium inoculant and inorganic fertilizer (10 kg/ha Urea, 22.5 kg/ha TSP and 25 kg/ha KCI) = P5, Biocompos (5 ton/ha) = P6, combination of Rhizobium inoculant (40 g/2000 m2) and Biocompos (5 ton/ha) = P7, MTM (200 g/ha) = P8, combination of MTM (200 g/ha) and inorganic fertilizer (20 kg/ha Urea, 22.5 kg/ha TSP and 25 kg/ha KCI) = P9. Results of the experiment showed that application of organic fertilizer and its combination with inorganic fertilizer could produce high seed yield similar to the recommended dosage of inorganic fertilizer, 17.30 -22.03 g /plant. However application of Rhizobium inoculant or Biocompos alone produced lower seed yield, 12.27 - 13.57 g /plant, than the recommended inorganic fertilization. MTM was the best treatment producing the highest seed yield and better performance where 4 of plant growth variables including branch number, leave width, dry and fresh weight of nodule significantly higher than those of the recommended inorganic fertilization. For seed viability and vigor as seed quality variables, there was no significant difference among the treatments.
