Keefektifan Allelopati Teki ( Cyperus rotundus L.) Terhadap Penekanan Perkecambahan Biji Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Nama NIM Enderson pada Berbagai Jenis Tanah

Abstract

Some previous research indicated that allelophatic in nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) has potential to be used as bioherbicide to suppress broadleaf weed seed germination. The aim of this research was to know the effect of various formulations nutsedge biomass in suppresing Asystasia gangetica germination, which is a serious problem in many plantation. Another purpose of this research was to know effect of different concentration of extract nutsedge to suppressing seed germination of A. gangetica on some types of soil. This research was conducted in Juni-October 2014 in Ecofisiology Plant Laboratory, Agronomy and Horticulture Department. The first experiment using a randomized complete design with 5 treatments formulation nutsedge biomass, these are fresh nutsedge, dried nutsedge, granule, powder and control. The second treatment using factorial randomized complete design with treatment of the extract concentration nutsedge 0 kg l-1, 1 kg l-1, 2 kg l-1, dan 3 kg l-1 and type soils treatment with different clay composition (kuarsa, regosol, andosol, latosol and podsolik). All treatment were conducted in 3 replicates. Result of this research show that all formulation of nutsedge effectively suppress A. gangetica seed germination compared with control. The type of soil gives significant effect on the suppresion of germination A. gangetica seed. In all types of soil application of nutsedge extract showed a tendency that higher concentration of nutsedge extract, higher pressing A. gangetica seed germination.
