Efek Populasi Cacing Eisenia foetida Savigny, Kapur dan Pupuk NPK terhadap Aspek Kualitas Nutrisi dan Produktivitas Centrosema pubescens Benth pada Latosol Dramaga.

Abstract

Feed is one of important role on a farm, exspecially for livestock because its help animal to grow and make good performance. This research aimed to determine and to compare the effect of E. foetida population, lime and NPK fertilizer levels for nutrient quality and productivity of C. pubescens on Latosol Dramaga soil. The design of the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial pattern (2 x 2 x 3) and three replications. Factor 1 was level of NPK, factor 2 was level of lime and factor 3 was level of E. foetida population. The data were analyzed by using SAS version 9.0. The results showed that it was not significant on productivity (P>0.05) but it was significant on nutrient quality (P<0.05). C. pubescens had highest crude protein affected by lime, NPK factor and interaction between three factors. Calsium was significantly affected by lime, E. foetida population and interaction between three factors.
