The effectiveness of biofertilizer on edamame productivity

Abstract

This study aimed at determining the effectiveness of bio-fertilizer with different concentrations on productivity soybean "Edamame" (Glycin max). The productivity consisted of the number of pods, empty pods, pod content, Edamame weight each plant. Bio-fertilizer in this study consists of microbial consortia (Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Saccharomyces, Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, and Cellulomonas). The treatment consists of 3 bio-fertilizer concentrations (25%, 50%, and 75%), as well as the negative control and positive control (100% chemical fertilizer equivalent 5g/plant). The results showed that treatment B2 (bio-fertilizer 50%) gave better results on productivity compared with other treatments.
