Evaluating Green Manuring of Moringa and Jantar along with Inorganic Fertilizers to Enhance the Yield and Quality Attributes of Autumn Maize (Zea mays L.)

A glass house study was conducted to evaluate the contribution of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) in improving maize yield grown on sandy loam of Northern Lombok. The package of organic fertilizers treatments were tested including: without inoculation of mycorrhiza, inoculation mycorrhiza and no added inorganic fertilizers, inoculation of mycorrhiza with cattle manure added, inoculation of mycorrhiza with rock phosphate added and inoculation mycorrhiza with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments were arranged using a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. The results of the study show that the inoculation of AMF significantly increased soil concentration of N, available-P, K and organic-C by 37.39%, 60.79%, 66.66% and 110.15% respectively observed at 60 days after sowing (DAS). The similar trend was also found at 100 DAS, where those nutrients increased by 21.48%, 69%, 43.93% and 37.07%, respectively compared to control. The improving of soil fertility status was also reflected by nutrients uptake (i.e. N, P, K, Ca) as well as growth and yield of maize. N, P, K and Ca uptake increased by 1,608%, 1,121%, 533% and 534%, respectively. Roots and top dry biomass at 60 DAS increased by 718.40% and 337.67%, respectively. The trend increased of the biomass was followed by observation at 100 DAS. Yield components including cobs, grain and weight of 100 grains increased by 313.60%, 411.84% and 137.54%, respectively. In addition, the inoculation of AM with F2 contributed significantly to the spore numbers and root infection.[How to Cite : Astiko W, IR Sastrahidayat, S Djauhari, and A Muhibuddin. 2013.

<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of inorganic fertilizer and leucite mineral residues on K uptake and maize yields. This research had been conducted from October 2016 to September 2017 in the experimental field of Neglasari, Dramaga, Bogor. The soil was analyzed in the Soil Chemistry and Fertility Laboratory of Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. The study was arranged in a completely randomized block design using 11 treatments with three replications. The result showed that the NPK 150 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> residues gave a better effect on corn yields whereas there was no significant effect of employing the standard NPK with RAE value of 123%. The study found that the residual treatment of inorganic fertilizers and leucite minerals had a significant impact on maize yields but not on K uptake.</p>

The efficiency of inorganic fertilizers can also be done by using mycorrhizal biofertilizers. Efforts to increase corn growth need to be done by using inorganic fertilizers and biological fertilizers. This study aims to determine the effect of urea and mycorrhizae doses on the growth of maize (Zea mays. L). The research was conducted in Gejugan Village, Andong District, Boyolali Regency, an altitude of 154 m above sea level with grumusol soil type. This study used a completely randomized block design (RAKL) with two treatment factors, namely the first factor urea fertilizer dosage consisting of 4 levels, namely N0 = 0 kg / ha, N1 = 100 kg / ha, N2 = 200 kg / ha, N3 = 300 kg. / ha, and mycorrhizae consists of 3 levels, namely M0 = 0 g / plant, M1 = 5 g / plant, M2 = 10 g / plant. with 3 repetitions. The results of this study indicated that the dose of urea fertilizer affected the growth of maize, while the mycorrhizal dose did not affect the growth of maize except for the length of the plant roots. The effect of urea dose interaction with mycorrhizae only affected the root length growth of maize. The best growth of maize plants after being given a dose of urea as much as 100 kg/da and mycorrhizal biofertilizer 10 g / plant with the longest roots (40.44 cm)
