| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was conducted at Cikarawang, Dramaga, Bogor from November 2012 to March 2013. This study aims to determine the most appropriate time in manure application and the effect of bio-fertilizer. This experiment used the split plot experimental design with two factors and 4 replications. The first factor was time of chicken manure application with 4 treatments i.e. application of 10 ton chicken manure / ha applied 2 weeks before planting, 10 ton/ha applied 4 weeks after planting, 10 ton/ha applied 6 weeks after planting, 5 ton/ha applied 2 weeks before planting and 5 ton/ha 4 weeks after planting. The second factor was the application of bio-fertilizer (with and without bio-fertilizer). There were 32 experimental units. The highest rice yield (5.04 ton dry grains/ha) was found from the application of 5 ton chicken manure / ha 2 weeks before planting and 5 ton/ha 4 weeks after planting with additional of bio-fertilizer. | en |
