Abstract
Rice plant is paddy producing plant needed by most of Indonesians as staple food. Sei Geringging Village in Kampar District, Kampar Kiri Sub-District had technically irrigated field on peat land and peat buried. Farmers on Sei Geringging Village farmed 2 kinds of rice which were prime variety and local variety. Most of prime variety farmed was Inpari 9 and the local variety was Mentik Wangi. Farmers on Sei Geringging Village had been farming the rice without knowing which variety had been best to farm on peat land and on peat buried that the yield had not been optimal. This research aimed to know the comparison of maximum growth and production rate of Inpari 9 and Mentik Wangi variety rice on peat land and peat buried. This research was done by a survey with descriptive method .Treatment combination was repeatedly done 4 times resulting 16 unit trial squares. Each square had 5 sample plants. Best growth was on peat land that planted with the Inpari 9 variety and on peat buried was planted with Mentik Wangi variety resulting yield of 4,20 ton.ha-1
Highlights
Rice plant is paddy producing plant needed by Indonesians as the source of staple food. [1] said that rice contains 49, 6 g of carbohydrates, 4, 10 g of proteins, 0,205 g of fats, 232 g of calories and 0, 74 g of fibre
Planting of paddy rice on peat and peat soil buried with Mentik Wangi varieties produced the highest plant height of 77,97 and 92,68 cm (Figure 1)
The plant height result Mentik Wangi variety on peat buried soil was higher compared to other varieties and the soil was suspected because the Mentik Wangi variety is a local variety which generally has a higher plant height than the prime variety that has undergone selection process
Summary
Rice plant is paddy producing plant needed by Indonesians as the source of staple food. [1] said that rice contains 49, 6 g of carbohydrates, 4, 10 g of proteins, 0,205 g of fats, 232 g of calories and 0, 74 g of fibre. [1] said that rice contains 49, 6 g of carbohydrates, 4, 10 g of proteins, 0,205 g of fats, 232 g of calories and 0, 74 g of fibre. [3] said that irrigated rice field is important due to the adequate availability of water as the main factor for cultivating the plants. Sei Geringging Village has peat soil and peat buried kind rice fields. According to Notohadikusumo [4], peat is the kind of soil constructed from the remains of dead plants that makes it have high level of organic content. While the peat buried is the peat soil heaped or stacked by the mineralized soil [5]
