Abstract
One of the main problems of peanut planting in dry land is a lack of nitrogen and calcium availability. Efforts to increase the nitrogen and calcium availability for peanut farming in dry land is needed and one possible approach is by application of Rhizobium and calcium fertilizers. This research was conducted to determine the effect of the application of Rhizobium (Nodulin) and calcium fertilizers on growth and yield of peanut plants in dry land. Two experiments were conducted, one in a greenhouse using a completely randomized design and another experiment in the field using a randomized block design. The treatments were with the application of Nodulin, without Nodulin, with calcium fertilizer and without calcium fertilizer. The results showed that the application of calcium and Nodulin was able to increase the number of root nodules and peanut growth. Nodulin and calcium fertilizers increased the dry pod weight of 2.177 g per 6 m2 or 3.7 tons.ha-1. The application of Nodulin and calcium was also able to increase the nitrogen and calcium content of leaf tissue up to 18.9% and 20.9%, respectively.
