Suminarti et al, 2018. Effect of Source and Dosage of Organic Materials on Changes in Soil Chemical Properties, Growth and Yield of Sorghum Plants (Sorghum bicolor L.Moench) var. KD4 in Dry Land Jatikerto, Malang. JLSO 7(2): Agricultural extensification is the right step to anticipate conditions of food insecurity. This refers to two reasons, namely (1) proliferation of land conversion activities, and (2) sorghum is a carbohydrate-producing plant that is quite tolerant when planted on dry land. The objective of this study was to obtain information about the sources and doses of organic matter that are appropriate to changes in soil chemical properties, growth and yield of sorghum plants, and has been carried out in the dry land of Jatikerto, Malang. A split plot designs with three replications were used in this study, sources of organic material (blothong, UB compost and cow dung) as the main plot, and doses of organic matter (125%, 100% and 75%) as a subplot. Soil analysis was carried out 3 times, i.e. before planting, after application of organic matter and at harvest. The agronomic observations were carried out destructively at 80 days after planting (DAP) including the components of growth (root dry weight, leaf area, and total dry weight of the plant) and harvest at the age of 90 DAP.F test at 5% level was used to test the effect of treatment, while the difference between treatments was based on LSD level of 5%.The results showed that there was a significant interaction between the source and dosage of organic matter on the leaf area and total dry weight, the highest yield was obtained in blothong at various doses. Higher yields of seeds per hectare were also found in blotong: 1.76 tons ha-1, and 1.73 tons ha-1 on 125% doses of organic matter. Blotong application is able to provide elements of N, P and K soil respectively 18.3%, 85.68% and 8.42% for plant.

A field investigation was conducted during the kharif season of 2012 at the experimental farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Nagaland University, Medziphema Campus, Nagaland. Sole and combined applications of different organic nutrient sources viz., FYM, vermicompost, pig manure, rhizobium and PSB (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) were evaluated in order to optimize organic nutrient management for green gram under rainfed conditions. Results showed that the combined application of rhizobium + PSB + vermicompost @ 0.7 t/ha was found to be the most responsive nutrient management practice recording significantly higher crop growth and yield attributes and ultimately recording the highest seed and stover yields of 369 and 989 kg/ha respectively. Soil available N and K status after harvest as well as seed and stover NPK uptake was found to be significantly higher with combined application of organic manures viz., vermicompost and FYM along with biofertilizers rhizobium and PSB.

Tujuan penelitian adalah mempelajari pengaruh interaksi antara dosis pupuk organik cair dan jarak tanamterhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Penelitian dilakukan di StasiunLapangan Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor Jawa Barat. Lokasi ini memiliki ketinggiansekitar 760 meter di atas permukaan laut, tipe tanah inseptisol dan tipe iklim Oldeman C3 pada tahun 2012.Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan pola faktorial, dua faktor perlakuan dantiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah dosis pupuk organik cair yang terdiri dari tiga taraf: 1,5 l / ha; 3 l / ha; dan 6l / ha. Faktor kedua adalah jarak tanam yang terdiri dari tiga taraf: 25 cm x 25 cm; 50 cm x 25 cm; dan 75 cm x 25cm. Pengamatan terdiri dari komponen hasil dan hasil tanaman sorgum. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwaantara jarak tanam dan dosis pupuk cair memberikan efek interaksi terhadap berat malai sorgum. Perlakuan pupukorganik cair dengan dosis 6 l / ha dan jarak tanam pada level 50 cm x 25 cm memberikan efek terbaik terhadapberat malai sorgum (94,90 g). Pengaruh mandiri jarak tanam pada level 50 cm x 25 cm memberikan hasil terbaikterhadap bobot biji per tanaman (71,31 g). Perlakuan pupuk organik cair dan jarak tanam memberikan efek yangsama terhadap panjang malai, berat 1000 butir, persentase bobot biji per tanaman, indeks panen, dan hasil perlahan.Kata kunci: pupuk organik cair, jarak tanam, hasil, sorgumABSTRACTThe objective of research was to study the effect of interaction between dosage of liquid organic fertilizerand plant spacing on growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Research was carried out atAgriculture Faculty Field Station, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor West Java. The site has an altitude about760 meter above sea level, inceptisols soil type and C3 climate type of Oldeman in 2012. The experiment used aRandomized Block Design (RBD) with factorial pattern, two factor of treatment and three replications. The Firstfactor was dosage of liquid organic fertilizer which consist of three levels: 1,5 l/ha; 3 l/ha; dan 6 l/ha. The Secondfactor was plant spacing consist of three levels: 25 cm x 25 cm; 50 cm x 25 cm; and 75 cm x 25 cm. Observationsconsist of components of yield and yield of sorghum plants. The results of this experiment showed that betweenplant spacing and dosage of liquid fertilizer give an interaction effect to panicle weight of sorghum. Treatment ofliquid organic fertilizer at dosage 6 l/ha and plant spacing at level 50 cm x 25 cm gave the best effects on panicleweight sorgum (94,90 g). Single effect treatment of plant spacing at level 50 cm x 25 cm gave the best result tograin weight per plant (71,31 g). Treatment of liquid organic fertilizer and plant spacing give the same effect topanicle length, weight of 1000 grain, percentage of kernels weight per plant, harvest index, and yield per field.Key words: liquid organic fertilizer, plant space, yield, sorgum

A field experiment was conducted at R.G.S.C, Banaras Hindu University, Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India during 2016 in kharif season (Sep.-Oct.) The aim was to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium level on fodder production of sudan grass (Sorghum bicolor var. Sudanese) for optimization of growth and yield, crude protein content and economics of sudan grass. The experimental was laid out in split plot design with four levels of nitrogen i.e. 60 kg N ha1, 80 kg N ha1, 100 kg N ha1 and 120 kg N ha-1 as main plot treatments and in the sub-plot three levels of phosphorus and potassium i.e. 30 kg P2O5+20 kg K2O ha-1, 40 kg P2O5+25 kg K2O ha-1 and 50 kg P2O5+30 kg K2O ha-1) were taken. The research findings revealed that application of nitrogen @ 120 kg ha-1 resulted maximum growth characters i.e. plant height (191.25 cm), number of leaf (8.02 plant-1), fresh weight (124.47 g plant-1), dry weight (21.10 g plant-1) and green fodder production (11455 kg ha-1), and as well as recorded maximum crude protein of sudan grass. The higher net return (` 7920.32 ha1) was also recorded with nitrogen @ 120 kg ha-1 and in case of levels of phosphorus and potassium the application of 50 kg P2O5+30 kg K2O ha-1 enhanced the growth, yield, quality and economics of sudan grass.
