The research aims to determine the combination of waxy corn variety and planting date on the growth and yield of waxy corn in an intercropping system of corn and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experimental design is a split-plot with the main plot consisting of waxy corn varieties (local variety; Uri variety and Binte Pulu variety and the sub-plot consisting of the alternate crop planting date. Three replications are performed. Data collection is done destructively. The F test at 5% is used to examine the effect of treatments, while differences across treatments are based on the LSD at 5%. Research results show an interaction between the waxy corn variety and planting date on the growth parameter. There is an improved yield from the local variety planted 15 days before the groundnut planting date, as well as from the Uri variety planted both simultaneously with, and also 15 days before, the groundnut planting date, with maximum yields of 2.99, 2.75 and 2.69 ton ha-¹, respectively.

Response of Long Beans (Vigna sinensis L.) Due to Dosage Treatment of Compost Fertilizer from Cocoa Fruit Peel. The research was conducted in the Experimental Garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Flores, Lokoboko Village, Ndona District, Ende Regency from June to August 2020. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cocoa husk fertilizer dose on the growth and yield of long beans. Using Randomized Block Design (RAK). With 5 doses of cocoa pod compost, namely: D1 : without treatment of cocoa pod skin or 0 g/plant, D2 : 5 tons per hectare of cocoa pod compost, D3 : 7.5 tons per hectare of cocoa pod compost, D4 : 10 tons per hectare of cocoa pod compost. D5 : 12.5 tons per hectare of cocoa pod husk compost. Each treatment was repeated 4 times, so that 20 trials were obtained. The application of cocoa husk compost fertilizer on long bean plants was proven to have a very significant effect on increasing the number of leaves at the observational ages of 21, 28 and 35 days after planting, leaf area at planting ages 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after planting, number of fruits, fruit weight at planting and weight. fruit per hectare The optimal dose of cocoa pod compost for long bean plants is 250gr per plant or the equivalent of 12.5 tons per hectare (D5) which is able to provide optimal growth and yield of long bean plants with an average percentage increase in the number of leaves aged 21, 28 and 35 by 20.68%; the mean leaf area at the age of 14, 21, 28 and 35 hst was 18.23%, the number of fruit was 27.57%; fruit weight per plant was 36.81% and fruit weight per hectare was 36.81%.

This study aims to determine the effect of giving Kirinyu (Chromolaena odorata) as a source of organic matter on growth and yield of two varieties of Chilli (Capsicum annum), and to determine the optimum dose Kirinyu that can improve crop growth and yield of the Big Chilli, research was conducted in the Garden University College of Agriculture experiment Flore, Village Lokoboko, District Ndona, Ende with ± 500 meters altitude above sea level, starting in September 2010-April 2011. The design used in this study is the Group Randomized Factorial Design with the treatment, the first factor (V), and Varieties Amando (V2), and the second factor (K) is the dose of organic material Kirinyu namely K0 (without Kirinyu), K1 (Kirinyu10 tons/ha), K2 (Kirinyu 15 tons/ha), K3 (Kirinyu20 tonnes/ha). Variable observation in this study was “Higher Plants, Number of Leaves, Leaf Area, Total Fruit, Fruit diameter and weight of fruit per plant”. The results showed that administration of doses as a source of organic material Kirinyu significant effect on the varieties (V) and different doses Kirinyu to Total Leaf, Leaf Area observations at age 42 days after transplanting (DAT), and also significantly influenced Number of  Fruit, Fruit Weight, and fruit diameter. Use of Hot Beauty varieties has increased to Total Leaf (21.67 strands), number of fruits (31.00 fruits), and fruit weight (279.00 grams) and more resistant to high rainfall intensity, and for variety  Amando has increased to broad leaves (187.02 cm), and fruit diameter (1.74 cm) and not resistant to rain intensity. But for Kirinyu dose also significantly influenced leaf number, leaf area at the age of 42 observation days after transplanting (DAT), and also significantly influenced fruit number, fruit weight and fruit diameter. Chili optimum plant growth is shown in the use Kirinyu a dose of 20 tonnes/ha ie number of leaves (19.23 strands), leaf area (208.25 cm), number of fruits (41.58), fruit weight (7.44 grams), fruit diameter (1.66 cm).
