Growth Response of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott to Liquid Organic Fertilizer from Broiler Manure Which Fermented By Banana Corm Bioactivator
Abstrak
This study aim was to find the effect of fertilizing liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) made from broiler manure which fermented with local microorganism bio activator (LMB) of banana corm, on the growth of dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). Stem cuttings of dwarf elephant grass were used as planting materials. The study was experimental research using a completely randomized design (CRD), with 4 doses of broiler manure POC and 5 replications. The treatments were P0 (control/without LOF), P1 (50 ml/LOF plot), P2 (100 ml/LOF plot), and P3 (150 ml/LOF plot). The parameters observed included plant height, leaf width, stem diameter and number of tillers. The results showed that providing broiler manure LOF at a dose of 50-150ml, did not affect grass height, leaf width and stem diameter. However, a significant effect occurred on the number of dwarf elephant grass tillers. It was indicated that addition 50ml/plot of LOF produced the most number of dwarf elephant grass tillers.
