Sorghum is a cereal crop that has the potential to be developed on dry land as a food source, has the ability to adapt widely, and requires less agricultural inputs than other food crops. Ende Regency is an area that has a dry climate and is dominated by dry land agriculture, so it has the potential for the development of sorghum plants. The purpose of this study was to conduct an agronomic study of the development of Nambu sorghum variety with the application of chicken manure. The research was conducted using a randomized block design, with 5 treatments chicken manure doses, i.e. A0: 0 tons per ha (control), A1: 3.25 tons per ha, A2: 6.5 tons per ha, A3: 9.75 tons per ha, and A4: 13 tons per ha. The application of chicken manure of 13 tons per ha to sorghum plants resulted in growth and yield variables with the highest values, i.e., plant height 277.08 cm, leaf number 15.69 pieces, leaf area 8720.03 cm2, fresh stover weight base 354.69 g, dry stover weight 249.38 g, panicle length 20.54 g, panicle dry weight 24.63 g, number of seeds per panicle 1392.19 g, 1000 seeds weight 7.50 g. Keywords: Chicken manure, dry land, food, sorghum. ABSTRAK Sorgum merupakan tanaman serealia yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan pada lahan kering sebagai sumber pangan, memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi secara luas, serta membutuhkan input pertanian relatif lebih sedikit dibandingkan tanaman pangan lainnya. Kabupaten Ende merupakan daerah yang beriklim kering dan dengan dominasi pertanian lahan kering, sehingga berpotensi untuk pengembangan tanaman sorgum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan kajian agronomis pengembangan tanaman sorgum varietas Nambu dengan aplikasi pupuk kandang ayam. Penelitan dilakukan dengan percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok, dengan 5 perlakuan penggunaan pupuk kandang ayam, yakni A0: 0 ton per ha (kontrol), A1: 3,25 ton per ha, A2: 6,5 ton per ha, A3: 9,75 ton per ha, dan A4: 13 ton per ha. Aplikasi pupuk kandang ayam sebesar 13 ton per ha terhadap tanaman sorgum menghasilkan variabel-variabel pertumbuhan dan hasil dengan nilai-nilai tertinggi, yaitu tinggi tanaman 277,08 cm, jumlah daun 15,69 helai, luas daun 8720,03 cm2, bobot brangkasan basah 354,69 g, bobot brangkasan kering 249,38 g, panjang malai 20,54 g, bobot malai kering 24,63 g, jumlah biji per malai 1392,19 g, bobot 1000 biji 7,50 g. Kata Kunci: Lahan kering, pangan, pupuk kandang ayam, sorgum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
