IMPACT OF UREA AND BIOURINE FERTILIZATION ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF Panicum maximum CV. TRICHOGLUME

Abstrak

The experiment was carried out to study the impact of urea and biourine fertilization on the productivity of Panicum maximum cv. Trichoglume. The study was conducted by using a completely randomized design with eight treatments and each treatment conducted with six replications. The treatments were: Do (0 kg urea/ha); D1 (75 kg urea/ha); D2 (50 kg urea/ha); D3 (25 kg urea/ha); D4 (7.500 l biourine/ha); D5 (75 kg urea/ha+7.500 l e/ha); D6 (50 kg urea/ha+7.500 l biourine/ha); and D7 (25 kg urea/ha+7.500 l biourine/ha). Variables observed were: plant height, number of tillers, number of branches, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf dry weight, stem dry weight, forage total dry weight, root dry weight, leaf dry weight ratio with stem dry weight, and ratio total dry weight of forage with root dry weight. The results showed that application of combination urea and biourine fertilizer on Panicum maximum cv. Trichoglume provides better growth than only being fertilized with one of these fertilizers. It can be concluded that fertilizing a combination of urea and biourine can increasing the growth of Panicum maximum cv. Trichoglume, the best results was dosage on 75 kg urea/ha+7.500 l biourine/ha.
