Increasing the Production of Purple Corn Plants through the Application of Compost Organic Fertilizer Enriched with Trichoderma

Abstract

The purple corn plant has many benefits for body health so it is necessary to develop research related to this plant. This research aims to obtain information on the effect of giving Trichokompos on the production of purple corn plants as well as the recommended dosage of Trichokompos fertilizer based on research results. The design method used was Randomized Block Design with treatment in the form of different doses of Trichokompos fertilizer (0 tons/ha, 20 tons/ha, 25 tons/ha, 30 tons/ha, and 35 tons/ha).  Analysis of variance and the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test showed that the application of Trichokompos doses had a significant effect on row length, cob diameter, and purple corn plant production. An application of 25 tons/ha of rich compost can be used as the most efficient recommended dose.
