Products of cassava leaves and cutcherry leaves from various compositions of intercropping pattern

Abstract

AbstractThe experiment of intercropping cultivation of cassava and cutcherry plants to harvest the leaves that was fertilized organically. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of organic fertilizer on the total leaf yield of each plant, the efficiency of the land area and the efficiency of the time span of its cultivation. The experiment was carried out at the Practical Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Wedomartani, Yogyakarta 55584 from September 2020 to January 2021, altitude 110 m above sea level, soil type Regosol. The research method was divided plot design with two treatments and repeated three times. The main plots consisted of organic fertilization with manure at a dose of 30 t/ha (P1), 40 t/ha (P2) and 50 t/ha (P3). The sub-plots were intercropped with a composition of (25% cassava + 100% cutcherry )/S1; (50% cassava + 100% cutcherry)/S2; (75% cassava + 100% cutcherry)/S3; (100% cassava + 0% cutcherry)/S0; and (0% cassava + 100% cutcherry)/K0. Observational data then calculated by analysis of variance.. The results showed that the dose of manure had no significant effect, but the intercropping pattern had a significant effect on leaf production. The highest yield of cassava leaves was in the intercropping pattern S3, although it was not significantly different from the intercropping pattern S2, while the yield of cutcherry leaves was almost the same in all intercropping patterns. The best intercropping pattern is the composition of (75% cassava + 100% cutcherry)/S3.
