Balanced fertilization is one solution to support sustainable agriculture.This experiment was conducted to determine the study of potassium caused by balanced fertilization. The experimental method used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) single factor with ten treatments and three replications, so the total is 30 experimental plots. The ten treatments consisted of : without fertilizer (0), ½, 1, 1,5 and 2 doses of organic fertilizer + without fertilizer (0), ¼, ½, ¾ and 1 doses of anorganic fertilizer. The results of this experiments showed that there were significant effects on potencial K, exchangeable K, K uptake and yield of pakchoy from combination of organic fertilizer with anorganic fertilizer. The treatment 1½ dose of organic fertilizer + 1 dose of anorganic fertilizer produce the highest yield of pakchoy with 5.13 kg plot-1 (increase 100 % than control).Keywords: Azolla pinnata compost, litter, peat, solid biofertilizer
The content of trace elements in the soil and plant is generally very low. Cobalt (Co) is a trace element that has an important role for plant metabolism. This research was conducted to study the combination effect of liquid micro fertilizer (LMF) with N,P,K fertilizer on total Co, available Co, Co uptake and corn yield (Zea mays L.
Fertilizer is one of the crucial means to improving rice productivity. The purpose of this research is to know and understand the behavior of nitrogen in the soil and plant rice (Oryza sativa L.) as well as the highest yields in Fluvaquentic Epiaquepts. This study was conducted in May through September 2015 at the Experimental Garden of Soil and Water Management, Faculty of Agriculture Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor, Sumedang regency. The altitude of place was 725 meters above sea level. The study design used randomized block design (RAK) with ten treatments, various dosage level of NPK 18:8:18 combined with the setting puddles and three replications, thus totaling thirty experimental plots. The results showed a real effect due to the provision of various level dose of NPK 18:8:18 and combinations of settings puddles on plant growth, the content of soil-N, absorption-N, and rice yields, both at the time of vegetative end as well as post-harvest rice. In addition, treatment of NPK 18:8:18 by setting a puddle able to deliver the highest yield at the time of post-harvest each by N-total of 0,64%; N-organic 0,26%; N-NH4 0,11%; N-NO3 0,31%; and absorption-N of plants by 1,80%. This resulted in a relatively high yield of 9.952 kg.ha-1, but not significantly different from NPK doses of 450 and 600 kg.ha-1.Keywords: NPK doses, soil-N, absorption-N, rice yield
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.
