This research was aimed at understanding the corn plant using plastic covers. The above mentioned plant was grown in plastic covers that have colours (transparent, red, green, and blue) and without plastic covers. This research was carried out in the Faculty of Agriculture, IPB from the month of May to June 2008. It was implemented using the Completely Randomized Design with three repetitions. The results of the research show that light intensity was higher in the plant that was not enclosed in the plastic covers. Generally, the research shows that the corn plant that was in the plastic covers is better than that one without plastic covers. The use of a plastic cover helps increases the height of the corn plant and the leaves. Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b are higher in the corn plant that was not in the plastic covers. The results of the research also indicate that transparent and red plastic covers have better responses compared to plastic covers with blue and green colors.

Chlorophyll content of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ‘Mericopa’) and corn (Zea mays L. ‘Merit’) treated with the herbicide fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone} and grown under high light intensity (10.8 klux), was markedly reduced. Corn and wheat germinated from seeds treated with 10 uM fluridone and grown for 6 days were almost completely bleached. Under low light intensity (108 lux) the influence of fluridone on chlorophyll production was greatly reduced. Under very low light intensity (21.5 lux) this influence was almost completely lost. The effect of light on the activity of fluridone suggests that the inhibition of carotenoid production may represent the mode of action of this herbicide. This study shows that the carotenoid content of wheat or corn drops dramatically when these plants are treated with fluridone.

Anthocyanin production in roots and shoots of Zea mays L. seedlings was higher in blue than in red light and was very low in far red light. Under dichromatic irradiation, a phytochrome mediation of a blue-dependent photoreaction was evident. Pretreatments with both white and blue light allowed increased anthocyanin production under subsequent inductive conditions, as did occurs in treatments with continuous blue, red, far red, or white light. It is suggested that the effect of light pretreatments on phytochrome-controlled anthocyanin formation may differ from that controlled by the combination of cryptochrome and phytochrome.

Organic farming has become very important for the continuity of agriculture in Indonesia. In addition to harvesting organic crops is healthy, the process of organic cultivation is also an effort of farmers to make improvementets to soil quality. This research aim to determine how the response to the administration of various doses of bat guano fertilizer and guano swallow fertilizer on sweet corn plant by the addition of phosphate solvent microbes. The study was conducted in the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Perjuangan Tasikmalaya. The experimental design used factorial randomized block design with 3 treatment of bat guano fertilizer dosage and 3 treatments of guano swallow fertilizer dosage, each treatment was repeated 3 times and each treatment was given phosphate solvent with the same dose. The result showed that there was an interaction between guano bat fertilizer and guano swallow at 6 and 8 week after planting leaves in the treatment of K0W1 (0 tons / ha bat guano + 2.5 ton / ha swallow guano) and K1W2 (2.5 tons / ha Bat guano + 3.75 tons / ha swallow guano), but there are no interaction on other parameters. There are no maximum doses for guano bats and guano swallow in the response of sweet corn plant.

AbstrakIntensitas cahaya dan ketersediaan air merupakan faktor-faktor yang menjadi penunjang maupun penghambat pertumbuhan tergantung kisaran yang mampu diterima tanaman. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh intensitas cahaya dan penyiraman terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman jagung. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 3 faktor intensitas cahaya (L1 : 63694 ; L2 : 11408 dan L3 : 3897 Lux) dan 3 faktor penyiraman (pemberian air sebanyak W1 : 2 L; W2 : 1,6 L; W3 : 1,2 L). Tiap kombinasi perlakuan dibuat tiga ulangan. Penanaman jagung dilakukan di lahan Sawitsari, Yogyakarta. Jagung dipanen saat berumur 75 hari dengan karakter pertumbuhan yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, rasio daun, berat kering tanaman, dan rasio akar-tajuk. Data dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Sidik Ragam Varian (Anava) dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) pada tingkat signifikansi 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa L1W1 (63694 Lux ; 2 L) menyebabkan semua karakter pertumbuhan meningkat.Kata kunci : jagung, pertumbuhan, intensitas cahaya, penyiraman AbstractThe light intensity and water availability are the factors both supporting and supressing plant growth and it depends on which level that plant can accept. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of light intensity and watering in maize growth. This research used Randomized Completed Design with 3 regimes of light intensity (L1 : 63694, L2 : 11408 dan L3 : 3897 Lux) and 3 regimes of watering (W1 : 2 L, W2 : 1,6 L  and W3 : 1,2 L). Each combination was done with 3 replications and it was done in Sawitsari, Yogyakarta. Maize was harvested in 75 days after the treatment and the measured parameters were plant height, leaf total number, leaf ratio, root-shoot ratio, and plant biomass. Data were analyzed by Anava and DMRT test with significance level of 5%. The results showed that L1W1 treatment increased all parameters of growth.
