PEMBERIAN LIMBAH KARET PADAT UNTUK PRODUKSI TANAMAN JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays saccharata Sturt): PROVISION OF SOLID RUBBER WASTE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SWEET CORN (Zea mays saccharata sturt)

Abstract

his study aims to determine the dosage of solid rubber waste on the growth and production of maize. This research was conducted in V Surodadi Village, Tugumulyo District, Musi Rawas Regency with an altitude of 97 above sea level. Conducted for 4 months, starting from April to July 2020. The study used an experimental method with a non-factorial randomized block design with 6 random arrangements and was repeated 4 times with 4 plant samples taken factorial random KO = Without using solid rubber waste, KI = 1 kg / plot, K2 = 3 kg / plot, K3 = 5 kg / plot, K4 = 7 kg / plot, K5 = 9 kg / plot. The results showed that the application of solid waste compost of 7 kg per plot (K4) gave the best response to ear weight and production of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt).
