RESPONS PERTUMBUHAN RUMPUT Brachiaria humidicola cv Tully DENGAN PEMBERIAN PUPUK ORGANIK BOKASHI KOTORAN AYAM PETELUR

Abstract

GROWTH RESPONSE OF Brachiaria humidicola cv Tully grass WITH
ORGANIC FERTILIZER BOKASHI LAYING CHICKEN. This study aims
to determine the growth response i.e stolon length, number of nodes,
number of phytomers, and number of tillers of Brachiaria humidicola cv Tully
with bokashi organic laying hens fertilizer. The completely randomized
design was applied using four treatments and five replications for each
treatment. The treatments were assigned level of bokashi. The levels of
 bokashi that B0 = 0 tons/ha (control), B1 = 2 tons/ha (1.8 kg/plot),
 B2 = 4 tons/ha (3.6 kg/plot) and B3 = 6 tons/ha (5.4 kg/plot).
The variables measured consisted of stolon length, number of nodes,
number of phyitomers, number of tillers. The Results of analysis of
variance showed that treatment very significantly different (P <0.01) on
stolon length, number of phyitomers, number of tillers and significantly
different (P <0.05) on the number of nodes. Test of Honest Significance
Difference (HSD) showed that B1 (1.8 kg / plot), B2 (3.6 kg / plot), and
B3 (5.4 kg / plot) have higher length of stolone, number of phyitomers
and number of tillers than B0. B3 and B2 had higher numbers of nodes
 than B0. It was concluded that the level 1.8 kg/plot organic fertilizer
bokashi chicken laying equivalent to 2 tons/ha gave highest B. humidicola
cv Tully growth response.
