PENINGKATAN KOMPONEN HASIL DAN MUTU BENIH KACANG TANAH (Arachis hypogaea L.) MELALUI PEMUPUKAN BOKASHI DAN P

Abstract

Peanuts are a potential commodity to be developed in Indonesia after soybeans and green beans. Low peanuts seed production is an existing problem that must be solved, with one of the ways is fertilizing bokashi and P. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the interaction of bokashi and P fertilizer application on yield and seed quality of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment was started from Desember 2016 to April 2017, at the Ciparanje Experiment Field and Seed Technology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agricalture, University of Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java. The experiment design used is a pattern of factorial randomized block design with two factors and three replication. The first factor is the dose of bokashi fertilizer with three levels, 0 5, 10 ton ha-1 and the second factor is the dose of P fertilizer with four levels, 0, 50, 75, 100 kg ha-1. The result showed that there is no interaction between bokashi and P on all of parameters. Application of Bokashi fertilizer and P fertilizer significantly on yield but not significantly on seed quality parameter. Bokashi fertilizer has an effect on increasing the weight of seeds per plant. Bokashi fertilizer with dose 5 ton ha-1 gave the best influence to the weight of seeds per plant. Effect of application of P fertilzer with dose 50 kg ha-1 gave the best effect on harvest index parameter. Keywords: bokashi, peanuts, phospahate fertilizer, seed quality
