Different fungicides belonging to the group known as ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors (EBI) were applied in oil-water mixtures and their effects compared with those of treatments with benomyl (150g a.i.

This study aims to determine the mineral content of cuscus’ manure and its utilization on the growth of Setaria spachelata grass. The study was designed with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments (control / P0; cuscus manure from banana fruit feed / P1; and cuscus manure from avocado / P2) and 5 replications. The dose of organic fecal fertilizer for cuscus, 40 grams / polybag. The setaria seedlings used were adult poles measuring 20 cm, which were planted in polybags measuring 30 x 15 cm and weighing 5 kg of soil. The results showed that there were differences content in manure mineral among the types of fruit eaten as feed. Furthermore, its use on setaria grass was able to increase its growth, namely plant height, number of leaves and number of tillers, the control treatment was significantly different from treatment P1 and P2 (P <0.05), but between P1 and P2 did not show any differences. Plant height ranges from 35.10-39.10 cm, the number of leaves is 71-101, while the number of tillers is 13-21 tillers per polybag. The cuscus manure has the potential as organic fertilizer.

Cuscus is an arboreal animal whose habitat is in the forest with the type of food consumed are fruits, leaf shoots, and agricultural plants. Animal manure can also be used as organic fertilizer for forage plants. This study aims to determine the growth response of Setaria grass (Setaria sphacelata) given a dose of cuscus manure fertilizer with banana and avocado consumption. The study was designed in a CRD with 3 treatments. The treatments were P0 = without fertilizer (100% soil), P1 = 40 g/polybag of cuscus manure with banana consumption, and P2 = 40 g/polybag of cuscus manure with avocado consumption. Planting is done by pols on polybags measuring 30 x 25 cm. The results showed that the highest plant height of Setaria grass was found in P2 with an average of 101.70, then P1 was 101.47 and P0 was 71.16 cm/week. The results were the same for the number of leaves and tillers, P2 showed significantly higher results (P<0.05), followed by P1 and control. The application of organic fertilizer of cuscus manure with the consumption of bananas and avocados can increase the growth of Setaria grass.
