PENGARUH APLIKASI BOKASHI BERBASIS VEGETASI SEKUNDER DAN KOTORAN SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN TANAMAN KACANG TANAH (Arachis hypogaea L.) PADA LAHAN SUBOPTIMAL

Abstract

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a type of secondary crop that has been cultivated for generations in the coastal areas of Muna Island. This study aims to determine the effect of bokashi application based on secondary vegetation and cow dung on peanut growth on sub optimal land. The research has been carried out in Katobu Village, Wadaga District, West Muna Regency. This study used a single factor Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 5 levels, namely: no fertilizer (B0), 3 kg per plot (B1), 6 kg per plot (B2), 9 kg per plot (B3), 12 kg per plot (B4), each treatment was repeated three times, so there were 15 experimental units. The variables observed were plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, total leaf area and root loss ratio. The results showed that the best treatment was bokashi fertilizer treatment of secondary vegetation and 6 kg cow dung per plot (B2) for the variables of plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves and total leaf area; Root loss ratio was obtained at 3 kg treatment per plot (B1). The application of bokashi fertilizer based on secondary vegetation and cow dung had an effect on the growth of peanut plants.
