Pertumbuhan dan Komposisi Serat Rumput Signal yang Dipupuk dengan Pupuk Hijau Cair Azolla dan Kihujan

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan pupuk hijau cair azolla dan kihujan terhadap pertumbuhan dan fraksi serat (NDF dan ADF) rumput signal (Brachiaria decumbens).Penelitian menggunakan stek rumput signal, pupuk hijau cairazolla dan kihujan, serta EM4. Penelitian disusun berdasarkan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 3 perlakuan dan 5 kali ulangan.Perlakuan terdiri dari P0 (tanpa pupuk), P1 (pupuk azolla) dan P2 (pupuk kihujan).Parameter yang diamati adalah pertumbuhan tanaman meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah anakan, luas daun dan produksi bahan kering, fraksi serat (NDF dan ADF). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan pupuk hijau cair azolla dan kihujan berpengaruh nyata (P0,05) terhadap jumlah anakan dan produksi bahan kering rumput signal. Pupuk hijauan cair azolla dan kihujan juga tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap kandungan NDF dan ADF rumput signal. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah pemberian pupuk hijau cair azolla dan kihujan mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan rumput signal khususnya tinggi tanaman dan luas daun, dan cenderung meningkatkan jumlah anakan dan produksi bahan kering.Penggunaan pupuk hijau cair azolla dan kihujan pada taraf P1 dan P2 belum mampu menurunkan fraksi serat (NDF dan ADF) rumput signal

The Role of Indigenous Mycorrhiza in Combination with Cattle Manure in Improving Maize Yield (Zea Mays L) on Sandy Loam of Northern Lombok, Eastern of Indonesia

A glass house study was conducted to evaluate the contribution of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) in improving maize yield grown on sandy loam of Northern Lombok. The package of organic fertilizers treatments were tested including: without inoculation of mycorrhiza, inoculation mycorrhiza and no added inorganic fertilizers, inoculation of mycorrhiza with cattle manure added, inoculation of mycorrhiza with rock phosphate added and inoculation mycorrhiza with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments were arranged using a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. The results of the study show that the inoculation of AMF significantly increased soil concentration of N, available-P, K and organic-C by 37.39%, 60.79%, 66.66% and 110.15% respectively observed at 60 days after sowing (DAS). The similar trend was also found at 100 DAS, where those nutrients increased by 21.48%, 69%, 43.93% and 37.07%, respectively compared to control. The improving of soil fertility status was also reflected by nutrients uptake (i.e. N, P, K, Ca) as well as growth and yield of maize. N, P, K and Ca uptake increased by 1,608%, 1,121%, 533% and 534%, respectively. Roots and top dry biomass at 60 DAS increased by 718.40% and 337.67%, respectively. The trend increased of the biomass was followed by observation at 100 DAS. Yield components including cobs, grain and weight of 100 grains increased by 313.60%, 411.84% and 137.54%, respectively. In addition, the inoculation of AM with F2 contributed significantly to the spore numbers and root infection.[How to Cite : Astiko W, IR Sastrahidayat, S Djauhari, and A Muhibuddin. 2013.

Soil Fertility Status And Soybean [Glycine Max (L) Merr] Performance Following Introduction Of Indigenous Mycorrhiza Combined With Various Nutrient Sources Into Sandy Soil

The experiment tested four treatments, namely inoculation of soil with mycorrhiza, inoculation of soil with mycorrhiza and cattle manure, inoculation of soil with mycorrhiza and rock phosphate, and inoculation of soil with mycorrhiza and inorganic fertilizers. Soil without any inoculation was provided as control. The treatments were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. Soil fertility status was based on the concentrations of N, P, K, and organic-C as well as soil pH. Plant performance was determined based on its ability to uptake nutrients (N, P, K, and Ca), its growth and yield. Then, the activity of mycorrhiza was measured based on total population and percentage of root infection. Overall, results of the present study showed that, compared with other treatments, inoculation of mycorrhiza into soil and amended with cattle manure significantly performed higher concentrations of N, P, K, and organic-C. This soil condition caused soybean to absorb significantly higher nutrients, grew well with higher yield compared with plant performance in other treatments. Therefore, results of this study implies that the application of mycorrhiza into soil amended with organic matter is promising to sustain soil productivity under soybean cropping system
