Pengaruh Pupuk Organik Cair Urine Kambing Dan Npk Terhadap Pertumbuhan Dan Hasil Tanaman Jagung Manis (Zea Mays Saccharata Sturt.)
ABSTRACT
Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt.) is one of the strategic cereal crops with high economic value and increasing market demand. However, in Riau Province, its productivity has declined annually. Fertilization both organic and inorganic is an important effort to improve sweet corn productivity. This study aimed to determine the interaction between liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from goat urine and NPK fertilizer, the single-factor effects of both fertilizers, the best treatment combination for yield improvement, and the correlation among growth and yield parameters of sweet corn. The experiment was conducted using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of two factors: goat urine LOF (200, 400, and 600 ml/L) and NPK fertilizer (0, 150, 300, and 450 kg/ha), producing 12 treatment combinations with three replications each. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, days to tasseling and silking, harvest time, ear weight with husk per plant, plot yield, and ear weight without husk per plant. Results showed no interaction between goat urine LOF and NPK fertilizer on all observed variables. The application of 600 ml/L LOF produced an ear weight with husk of 416.50 g per plant, while 300 kg/ha NPK resulted in 422.11 g per plant. The combination of 600 ml/L LOF and 300 kg/ha NPK tended to yield the best performance, producing 428.22 g per plant, equivalent to a productivity of 22.82 tons/ha. It can be concluded that the combination of 600 ml/L goat urine LOF and 300 kg/ha NPK fertilizer is an efficient dosage to enhance the growth and yield of sweet corn. Plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves exhibited a positive correlation with ear weight with husk per plant.
