Effect Of Grant Palm Oil Ash To The Growth And Production Of Two Corn Varieties (Zea Mays L) In Peatland

Abstract

The study, entitled the effect of the administration of Palm Oil Long Palm (AJKS) to the growth and production of two corn varieties inpeatlands, was carried out from October 2017 to March 2018 in trench 3 in Tembilahan Hulu Village, Tembilahan Hulu District, Indragiri Hilir Regency,soil analysis and AJKS conducted at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture Laboratory. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of AJKSadministration on the growth and production of two maize varieties (Zea mays L) on peatlands, and to determine whether there was an interactionbetween the dosage of AJKS and corn varieties on peat soil ameliorating AJKS. The design used was factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) using 2factors with three replications. The first factor is the dose of AJKS administration consisting of 4 levels, namely: A0: 0 kg / ha, A1: 500 kg / ha, A2: 1000kg / ha, A3: 1500 kg / ha. The second factor is corn varieties with 2 levels, namely: V1: Pioneer Varieties and V2: Varieties N35. Of the two factors aboveobtained 8 treatment combinations. Based on the results of research that has been done, that there is no real interaction and influence between thetreatment of giving AJKS with varieties to all observed parameters. Giving AJKS 1500 kg / ha gives the highest yields on all parameters observed exceptfor the number of cobs, Pioneer variety is the variety that responds most to AJKS administration.
