The effect of a combination of organic fertilizer on the production of Inpari 32 varietas

Abstract

Merauke Regency is one of the regencies located in Papua Province, which has potential land for the development of the agricultural sector, especially food crops. The potential land for rice development in Merauke Regency reaches 1.9 million hectares. Organic farming, in its implementation, focuses on the use of organic materials that can increase crop production. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of organic fertilizer combination (cow manure and liquid organic fertilizer) on the production of Inpari 32 types. The method was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 4 treatments and was repeated three times so that 12 plots were obtained the trial. The results show that the application of organic fertilizer has a significant effect on the weight of 1000 grains, weight of rice grains per experimental plot, and weight of rice grains per hectare. The highest rice grain at 14% water is P1Z2 treatment, which yields 2.28 tons/hectare.
