Abstract Sweet corn production in Indonesia from is volatile and unstable. Unoptimal production of sweet corn in North Sumatra is caused by land conditions, plant populations, pest and disease and level of soil fertility. Effective and efficient soil tillage, crop spacing and number of seeds will affect the physical properties of the soil and plant productivity. This study aims to observe the best planting and tillage methods for maize. This study used a split plot design which is repeated three times with two factors, i.e. 3 levels of number of seeds per planting hole and 3 levels of soil tillage. The results showed that the treatment of tillage and the number of seeds per planting hole give significant effect on the variables of plant height, stem diameter, and total production. The interaction of these two factors showed an influence on the parameters of sweet corn plant height. The treatment of 2 seed per planting hole and 1 time of soil tillage show the best productivity compared to other treatments.

Background: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the growth and bulb yield of shallot (Allium cepa L.) varieties grown by TSS with different population.Methods: This study was carried out in the low dry land at Laleten Village, Malaka District, NTT Province, Indonesia, from March to August 2018. We investigated different plant populations per planting hole using a split-plot design with two factors and four replications. The main plot was the varieties (Trisula and Bima Brebes) and the subplots were the seedling population (100, 200 and 300 plants/m2).Result: There was no interaction between varieties and population for any of the measured parameters. The population only affected the plant height at the beginning of plant growth. A high plant population (300 plants/m2) gave the highest production of single bulbs but was negatively correlated with the bulb weight. Trisula variety produced significantly more single bulbs than the Bima Brebes one. The establishment of the TSS-adapted varieties could be recommended in this area.

The use of organic fertilizer provides soil with macronutrients, micronutrients, and organic acids which improve the long-term physical, chemical, and biological fertility of the soil. This research aims to: 1) Increase physical and chemical soil fertility, 2) Acquire the interaction between organic fertilizer and Ponska fertilizer dosage on sweet corn crops, 3) Acquire the most efficient dosage of PONSKA  fertilizer on sweet corn, and 4) disseminate research results through journal articles and directly to farmers.  This research will increase the efficiency of NPK Ponska chemical fertilizers by utilizing waste from around the farm and lakes to formulate organic fertilizer to apply on sweet corn crops and as a reference to teaching material. Factorial research with two factors was designed using a randomized block design. Factor I (A) = Organic fertilizer formulation, comprising of A1 = 20 ton/ha, A2 = 30 ton/ha, and A3 = 40 ton/ha.  Factor II (B) =  Phonska fertilizer,  comprising of B1 = 25 % Ponska, and B2 = 50% Ponska. Every treatment was replicated four times, yielding 24 research plots. Response variables observed were: Plant height, number of leaves, dry weight of the plant. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, followed by Tukey's honest significance difference test (alpha = 0.05) if significant differences were found. Results showed that the interaction between organic and Phonska fertilizer formulations had significant effects on plant height. A dosage of 40 ton/ha of organic fertilizer can decrease the use of phonska fertilizer by 75% based on the height of sweet corn plants.

Agroforestry-based coffee is one of the conservation efforts to restore the damages at the Citarum watershed. Planting annual crops between coffee rows could potentially contribute income for the growers during the immature non-productive coffee growth. The aims of the research is to study the effect of various types of agroforestry models in the upstream Citarum watershed on the growth of coffee, and growth and yields of the intercrops. The research was conducted in September 2018 to June 2019 at the upstream Citarum watershed of Tarumajaya Subdistrict Kertasari, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The research was arranged with a randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the cropping system, i.e. coffee monoculture, coffee and corn, coffee and sweet corn, coffee and red beans, and coffee and habanero chili. The second factor was organic matter application, i.e. with and without application of in situ organic matter. The results of the research showed that coffee intercropped with habanero with application of in situ organic matter had the best vegetative growth, indicated by taller plants, more leaves, increased leaf P and Mg levels, and the maximum income from the intercrop. Coffee intercropped with corn with application of in situ organic matter had a maximum corn production but had the lowest income. Therefore, the model of coffee intercropped with habanero chili with application of in situ organic matter was the best model from several intercropping systems tested.

Solid organic fertilizing for organically sweet corn production should be combined with foliar application to improve fertilizing effectiveness. Each sweet corn variety had different response to particular liquid organic fertilizer (LOF). This experiment aimed to determine growth and yields of three sweet corn varieties to local-based LOF was conducted at CAPS research station (950m above sea level) from March to June 2015, arranged in a factorial completely randomized block design with three replicates. The first factor was three sweet corn varieties, i.e. Talenta, Jambore and Asian Honey, and the second factor was five LOF concentrations,i.e. 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm, respectively. Results indicated that sweet corn varieties significantly affected plant height, plant leaf area, root fresh-weight,weight of husked ears, weight of unhusked ears, but did not affect diameterof unhusked ear and shoot fresh weight. LOF concentrations did not affect all observed parameters. So did the interaction between varieties and LOF concentrations, except on shoot fresh-weight. Asian Honey variety had the highest plant height, plant leaf area, roots fresh-weight, weight of husked ears, and weight of unhusked ears. There were no different in plant diameter and shoot fresh weight among the tested varieties. Further research should be focused on the use of higher concentration of local-based LOF to provide effective complementary organic fertilizing in sweet corn production.
