PENINGKATAN HASIL TANAMAN JAGUNG PULUT (Zea mays Ceratina Kulesh) DENGAN APLIKASI PUPUK HAYATI MIKORIZA DAN PUPUK NPK

Abstract

This study aims to increase the production of glutinous corn by applying mycorrhizal biofertilisers and NPK fertilisers. This research was conducted in Campagayya Village, Galesong District, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province. This research was conducted from May to August 2022 in Campagaya Village, Galesong District, Takalar Regency. This study was structured using a split-plot design consisting of a main plot and subplots as the main plot was the application of mycorrhizal biofertiliser, which consisted of two levels: without mycorrhizal application and mycorrhizal application ten g/plant. As subplots, NPK fertilisation comprised 100, 200, and 300 kg/ha doses. Six treatment combinations were obtained from these two factors, and each was repeated three times to get 18 experimental units. The experimental results showed that the administration of mycorrhiza resulted in better growth and production of glutinous corn, shown by taller plants and heavier cob production. The interaction between mycorrhizal administration and 200 kg NPK/ha fertilisation resulted in a larger cob diameter of 55.54 mm.
