Pengaruh Pemupukan Kalium terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Beberapa Varietas Kedelai Hitam (Glycine soja) pada Budidaya Jenuh Air di Lahan Pasang Surut

Abstract

Saturated soil culture can prevent oxidation of pyrite from negative influences and it can to improve the productivity of soybean. The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of potassium fertilization on the growth and production of Ceneng, Cikuray, Lokal Malang, and Tanggamus under saturated soil culture on tidal swamp. The experiment was conducted at Banyu Urip, Tanjung Lago, Banyuasin, West Sumatera, from May until September 2013. The experiment used split plot design with 3 replications. The main plot was is variety consisted of Ceneng, Cikuray, Lokal Malang, and Tanggamus. The sub plot was is potassium fertilization consisted of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg K2O ha-1. The experiment results show that kalium fertilization increased yield of black soybean. Productivity was affected by single factors that is variety and potassium fertilization. The interaction between variety and potassium fertilization did not effect to the all variables. The highest productivity of black soybean was obtained from Ceneng variety, 3.58 ton ha-1. The potasium fertilization 90 kg ha-1 gave the highest productivity as such as 3.72 ton ha
