Abstract

This study aims to look at the effect of buffalo and goat manure on the growth of Indigofera zollingeriana plants. This research was carried out in Parlondut Village, Pangururan Subdistrict, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra from March to May 2018. The design used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design with 4 replications. P0 = Buffalo Cage Fertilizer 25% + 75% Top Soil Soil, P1 = Buffalo Cage Fertilizer 50% + 50% Top Soil Soil, P2 = Buffalo Cage Fertilizer 75% + 25% Top Soil Soil, P3 = 25% Goat Cage Fertilizer + 75% Top Soil Soil, P4 = Goat Cage Fertilizer 50% + 50% Top Soil Soil and P5 = Goat Cage Fertilizer 75% + 25% Top Soil Soil. The variables observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of stems, stem diameter and leaf width. The results showed that the application of manure from goats had a significant effect on the parameters of the study, namely plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and stem diameter. In conclusion, the increasing dosage of fertilization with goat manure on Indigofera zollingeriana plants, the results are getting better.

Highlights

Manure has natural properties and does not damage the soil, provides macro elements and micro
One of the livestock that has the potential as a source of organic fertilizer is goats. This is related to the advantages of manure from goat manure, which is the texture of finer and more typical goat manure
The treatment that will be used in this study are: P1 = Given buffalo manure 25% + 75% top soil P2 = Given buffalo manure 50% + 50% top soil P3 = Given buffalo manure 75% + 25% top soil P4 = Given goat manure 25% + 75% top soil P5 = Given goat manure 50% + 50% top soil P6 = Given goat manure 75% + 25% top soil

Summary

Introduction

Manure has natural properties and does not damage the soil, provides macro elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and sulfur) and micro (iron, zinc, boron, cobalt, and molybdenium). The use of manure can increase the permeability and content of organic matter in the soil, and can reduce the value of soil erodobility which increases soil resistance to erosion [1]. Manure has an effect on soil fertility which is quite good because it contains complete nutrients (macro and micro) and microorganisms in it are able to decompose the soil into more mature so that some nutrients in the soil such as P are available to plants [2]. One of the livestock that has the potential as a source of organic fertilizer is goats. The value of the C / N ratio of goat manure is generally still between 2025. Good manure must have a C / N ratio of less than 20, so goat manure will be better used if composted first [3]
