Abstract
Saline soil is one of major abiotic stress in Indonesia. The research was conducted to evaluate growth, dry matter production and crude protein of Sesbania grandiflora at saline soil with different application dosage of manure. The research was done during June – December 2016at saline soil (EC = 4.1 dS/m) in Kaliori sub-district area, Rembang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The treatments were dosage of manure (0, 10 and 20 tonnes/ha). Sesbania grandiflora was planted as sole legume and inter-planted with P. maximum.Parameters measured were plant height, number of leaves, dry matter production and crude protein at first cutting and second cuttings. Results showed that plant growth was higher with application manure at saline soil. The effect of manure was obvious at second cutting. The highest dry matter production was obtained at application 20 ton/ha manure. Application manure at saline soil affected crude protein of S. grandiflora at first cutting. Manure was not affected crude protein S. grandiflora at second cutting. The conclusion was application of 20 ton/ha manure at saline soil (EC = 4.1 dS/m) increased growth, dry matter production and crude protein of Sesbania grandiflora.
