PENGARUH PEMBERIAN KOMPOS BATANG PISANG DENGAN VARIASI KONSENTRASI EM4 DAN PUPUK UREA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN STEK LADA (Piper nigrum L.) VARIETAS MALONAN 1

Abstract

This research was conducted at the Experimental Garden of Widya Gama Mahakam University Samarinda, Faculty of Agriculture, Jalan KH. Wahid Hasyim. The study was conducted in January - April 2020.

This study used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with 2 treatment factors and 3 replications. The first factor was the application of banana stem compost with various concentrations of EM4 consisting of 4 levels, namely P0 = banana stem compost without EM4, P1 = banana stem compost with EM4 concentration of 50 ml L-1 water, P2 = banana stem compost with EM4 concentration of 75 ml. L-1 water, P3 = banana stem compost with a concentration of EM4 100 ml L-1 water and the second factor is the dose of urea fertilizer which consists of 4 levels, namely, D0 = control, D1 = 1 g urea / polybag, D2 = 2 g urea / polybag, D3 = 3 g urea / polybag.

The results of the research giving banana stem compost with variations in the concentration of EM4 and the dose of urea fertilizer and the interaction of the two treatments had a very significant effect on plant height at the age of 20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS, with the best treatment P3 = 28.67 cm, D3 = 28, 21 cm and P3D3 = 32.33 cm, then had a very significant effect on the number of shoots at the age of 60 and 80 DAS with the best treatment P3 = 6.67 fruit, D3 = 6.17 fruit and P3D3 = 8.33 fruit, and very influential significant on the number of leaves at the age of 40, 60 and 80 DAS with the best treatment P3 = 8.58 strands, D3 = 8.83 strands and P3D2 = 10.67 strands.
