Pengaruh Bahan Organik Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Padi (Oryza Sativa L.) Varietas Inpari 13 Sistem Tanam Jajar Legowo

Tanaman Padi (Oryza sativa L.) merupakan makanan pokok di Indonesia. Penggunaan pupuk kimia sintetik yang terus-menerus pada budidaya padi dan sisa panen dikeluarkan dari lahan mengakibatkan kandungan bahan organik tanah rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh bahan organik hijauan terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman padi varietas inpari 13 sistem tanam jajar legowo. Penelitian dilaksanan pada bulan April sampai Juli 2012 di Desa Nyormanis, Blega - Bangkalan. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 7 perlakuan dan 3 kali ulangan. Perlakuan yang diberikan ialah pupuk anorganik (K), Crotalaria juncea 2 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 7,2 t ha-1 (C1), Crotalaria juncea 4 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 4,8 t ha-1 (C2), Crotalaria juncea 6 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 2,4 t ha-1 (C3), Sesbania rostrata 1,75 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 7,2 t ha-1 (S1), Sesbania rostrata 3,5 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 4,8 t ha-1 (S2), Sesbania rostrata 5,25 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 2,4 t ha-1 (S3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pemberian bahan organik Sesbania rostrata 1,75 t ha-1 kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi 7,2 t ha-1 (S1) mampu menghasilkan berat kering gabah sebesar 5,27 t ha-1 lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan perlakuan bahan organik lainnya.
