Utilization of Trichoderma viride as organic fertilizer to induce the resistance of banana seeds on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense (FOC)

Abstract

Utilization of Trichoderma viride as Organic Fertilizer to Induce the Resistance of Banana Seeds to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp cubense (Foc). This study aimed to find out the type of organic material that is able to suppress Foc. and knowing the macronutrient value of organic matter decomposed by Trichoderma viride. This research was carried out on the field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Graha Nusantara Padangsidimpuan University, from February to August 2018. The treatment of research are control, Cow manure without decomposition by T. viride, Cow manure was decomposed by T. viride, Chicken manure without decomposition by T. viride, and Chicken manure was decomposed by T. viride. The results showed that compost with the addition of decomposer Trichoderma viride can suppress Foc growth and can increase the nutrient value of N, P, K compost organic matter.
