The effect of the application of compost and cow manure on nectarine (Prunus persica L.) root growth and survivorship was investigated in a commercial orchard during the growing seasons 2003, 2004 and 2005. Our main objective was to determine whether compost affects root dynamics differently than cow manure. The experiment was a complete randomized block design with four replicates of two treatments: cow manure and compost applied at planting in 2001 at 10 t dry weight (DW)/ha and from 2004 at the rate of 5 t DW/ha. The compost fertilization represented a yearly rate of 120 kg N/ha, while cow manure was approximately 80 kg N/ha/year. Both root growth and survival were evaluated at 20-day intervals during the growing season by the minirhizotron technique. Cow manure increased the production of new roots compared with compost (P ≤ 0.001). Roots were mainly produced at a depth of 21–40 cm for compost and 61–80 cm for cow manure. The root lifespan was longer in compost than in cow manure treated trees (P ≤ 0.05) and was strongly affected by depth. No differences were observed in root length and diameter.

The productivity of banana, as priority fruit, is still low due to lack of good quality seedling. The research aim was to know the effect of chitosan application, mixed media and an interaction between mixed media with the chitosan on seedling growth of “raja bulu” banana. The research designed was a complete randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was the mixed soil, cow manure and rice husk charcoal and the second factor was chitosan at a concentration of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 ml L-1. Observed parameters were height, diameter, leaf number and biomass of seedling. The chitosan concentration at 4 ml L-1 gave the highest growth on the height (41.2 cm), leaf number (4.2 leaf plant-1) and dry weight (5.44 gr plant-1) raja bulu banana seedling. The mixed media of soil, cow manure with rice husk charcoal resulted in the highest growth of seedling height (46.6 cm), leaf number (5.2 leaf plant-1), dry weight (5.4 gr plant-1).  Both chitosan applications and mixed media did not give significantly effect on the seedling diameter. The interaction between the mixture media with the application of chitosan did not significantly different on vegetative growth and seedling biomass.

This research is the development of the use of Lapindo mud and mycorrhizae as a planting medium. Lapindo mud contains nutrients such as N, P, K, Na, Ca, Mg, C organic and has a high cation exchange capacity. Mycorrhizae can increase the length of plant roots and are resistant to stress and soils contaminated with heavy metals. The study was arranged using a Randomized Block Design with factorial patterns, the first factor being the planting medium (A) and the second factor was mycorrhizae (P). The first factor is Lapindo mud and cow manure; Lapindo mud and goat manure; Lapindo mud and chicken manure with a ratio of 50%: 50%, respectively. From these two factors, 9 treatment combinations were obtained, namely A1P1, A1P2, A1P3, A2P1, A2P2, A2P3, A3P1, A3P2, and A3P3. Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 27 experimental units. From the study found that there is a real interaction in providing a combination of planting media and mycorrhizae on the growth and yield of mustard plants. The best treatment combination was shown in the combination treatment of planting media (Lapindo mud and cow manure) with 10 gr mycorrhizae / plants (A1P2) on all observations (plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of plants, root length, weight, weight wet and dry weight of root of mustard plants and absorption of heavy metal content).

East Nusa Tenggara is dominated by dry land which has the potential for the development of horticultural crops. Horticultural plants that are widely cultivated by the community are spinach. However, in reality, spinach production in this province is still fluctuating, this is due to the low knowledge of farmers about providing proper nutrition for plant growth and development. For this reason, this study aims to determine the production of spinach in dry land due to cow manure and atonic application. This research was conducted in the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of the Teachers Association 1945. The design used was a factorial randomized block design (RBD), which consisted of 2 factors: factor I: cow manure and factor II: growth stimulant (atonic). The results obtained were: The application of cow manure and atonic manure to spinach on dry land had a very significant effect on plant height (7,55 -F hitung> 4,77-F Tabel), number of leaves (10.85-F hitung> 4,77-F Tabel), fresh weight (13,98-F hitung) > 4,77-F Tabel) and dry weight (6,44 -F hitung) > 4,77 -F Tabel).

In Indonesia, maize is the second important food crop after rice. Corn is a potential raw material for the food industry, processed products for home industries, as well as feed so that the need continues to increase. Meanwhile, maize production is currently not sufficient to meet the needs, so the shortage is still met from imports. This study aims to determine the effect of cow manure and mycorrhizal doses on the growth of maize (Zea mays.L). The research was conducted in Gejugan Village, Andong District, Boyolali Regency, with a height of 154 m above sea level on the Grumusol soil type. This study used a completely randomized block design (RAKL) with two treatment factors, namely cow manure dosage factors (0, 10, 20, and 30 tonnes/ha) and mycorrhizae (0, 5, 10 g / plant) with 3 replications.  The results showed that the dose of cow manure affected the growth of maize plants, while the mycorrhizal dose only affected the growth of corn plant roots. The interaction effect of cow manure dose with mycorrhizae occurred on root growth of corn plants. The best maize growth was obtained in the combination of 30 ton/ha manure dose treatment with 10g / plant mycorrhizae which produced the highest dry weight of stover (97.39 g), and the lowest dry weight (61.00 g) was obtained in the treatment without cow manure and mycorrhizae.
