Test formulation of liquid organic fertilizer on growth and result of soybean plants

Abstract

The objective of this research is to know the result of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) formulation on growth and yield of soybean crop. The hypothesis of this research is;(1) Suspected different LOF formulations provide different growth and yields of soybean crops;(2) suspected formulations F2 (LOF water hyacint + banana cobs) will have a better effect on the growth of soybean crop than other formulation;(3) suspected formulations F7 (LOF water hyacint + fish bone + chicken egg shell) will have a better effect on soybean crop yield than other formulations. The research was conducted by using Randomized Block Group Design with the following treatment: F = LOF Formulation; F0: without LOF (Control), F1: LOF water hyacinth (BioEcgon, F2 = BioEcgon + banana hump, F3 = BioEcgon + bone fish, F4 = BioEcgon + chicken egg shell, F5 = BioEcgon + banana hump + fish bone, F6 = BioEcgon + banana hump + chicken egg shell, F7 = BioEcgon + fish bone + chicken egg shell, andF8 = BioEcgon + banana hump + fish bone + chicken egg shell. From each treatment repeated 3 times, so it takes 27 plots of experiments (9x3 = 27) with a plot / plot of 18 m2 (3x6). The parameters observed are plant height, number of leaves and dry weight of soybean seeds / ha. The data obtained were analyzed by Analysis of Variants (Anova), if there is a real difference followed by 5% BNT test. LOF application with various formulations is expected to improve the growth of soybean crops, so it can increase the yield of soy / ha, in the long term aims to increase land productivity and can prevent land degradation, as well as one solution in overcoming the problem of organic waste.
