The aim of the research is to study effectiveness of nano particle of cow bone ash to substitute SP36 synthetic fertilizer on cultivation of maize (Zea mays Saccharata Sturt) in entisol soil. The method used in this research was completely randomized block design with single factor of 5 treatments. The treatments were 100% of SP36 & 0% nanoparticle as control, 75 % of SP36 & 25 % of nano particle of cow bone ash, 50 % of SP36 & 50 % of nano particle of cow bone ash, 25 % of SP36 & 75 % of nano particle of cow bone ash. and 0 % of SP36 & 100 % of nano particle of cow bone ash. Parameters used in this study were the growth and yield of sweet corn. The results revealed that application of nano particle of cow bone ash could substitute synthetic fertilizer of SP-36 in the range of 25 to 100 % of growth and yield of maize. The application of treatment 25 % of SP36 & 75 % of nano particle of cow bone ash could increase cob weight of maize about 24 ton per ha or could increase the yield about 35 % compared to 100% SP36.
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.
