| dc.description.abstract | The eflect of bagase compost application on nutrient uptake and growth of sugarcane was studied at PG Jatitujuh, Majalengka, West Java, *om October 1998 to March 1999. The experiment was arranged in split plot design with three replications. The bagase compost as sub plot and the recommended m e of inorganic fertilizer as the main plot. The rates of bagase compost were 0.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 todha and the recommended rate of inorganic f-ertilizers were loo%, 75%, and 50% of recommended rate. The recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer was 300 kg Urea, 200 kg ZA, 150 kg SP-36, and 200 kg KCUha. The m l t s showed that bagase compost application at 7.5 todha signifcantly increased nitrogen upthkz at 3 Month After Planting (MP) compared to no compost, but did not afect P205, K20 and S. Lower rate of inorganic fertilizer decreased S uptake at 2 M A , but did not afect N, P2O5 dan K20. Combination of 5.0 tonlha compost bagase with 100% recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer tended to increase sugarcane growth. Bagase compost application with inorganic fertilizer did not affect the percentage of growth, height, and diameter of stalk | id |
