Abstract
Suweg (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson) and iles-iles (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume.) are shade-tolerant plants and generally cultivated under the tree stands. This study aimed to develop a fertilizer application technology for suweg and Iles-iles in intercropping systems. The study was conducted using randomized block design (RBD) using two the species suweg and iles-iles. Method of application of fertilizer with three level (sidedressing, soil spray and control). The study was conducted from June 2011 to May 2012 at the University Farm, Bogor Agricultural University, Leuwikopo, Bogor. The results indicated that fertilizer aplication gave a significant effect on parameters on suweg observation. Spread techniques gave the highest yield on yield tuber dry weight of 221 g, fresh weight of tuber 1152 g, yield weight total around 28 tons / ha, tuber diameter 8.05 cm, and 13.00 cm tuber tall. The results indicated that fertilizer on Iles-iles only gave a significant effect on plant height parameters with the highest yield on control that reached 72 cm.
