Percobaan bertujuan untuk mencari konsentrasi pupuk organik cair dan pupuk N, P, K yang terbaik  terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman jagung manis kultivar Talenta. Percobaan dilaksanakan dari bulan Maret hingga Mei 2014 di Kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, Sumedang dengan ketinggian tempat ± 750 m di atas permukaan laut. Percobaan dilakukan menggunakan metode percobaan di lapangan dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri dari tujuh perlakuan dan diulang empat kali yaitu: 1 dosis rekomendasi pupuk N, P, K ; 1 kali konsentrasi  pupuk organik cair ; 2 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair ; 1 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair + ½ dosis pupuk N, P, K ; 1 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair + 1 dosis pupuk N, P, K ; 2 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair + ½ dosis pupuk N, P, K dan 2 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair + 1 dosis pupuk N, P, K. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi pupuk organik cair dengan dosis pupuk N, P, K berpengaruh terhadap tinggi tanaman, diameter batang, luas daun, panjang tongkol, diameter tongkol, berat tongkol, hasil tanaman, indeks panen dan total padatan terlarut. Berdasarkan pertimbangan dari segi ekologis dan ekonomis, kombinasi 1 kali konsentrasi pupuk organik cair dengan ½ dosis pupuk N, P, K mampu memberikan pengaruh yang lebih baik terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman jagung manis.Kata kunci: jagung manis, pupuk organik cair, pupuk N, P, K

Banana is a horticultural commodity (fruit) that can be eaten immediately or processed. Banana is a fruit that is not durable, therefore efforts should be made to make it more durable and the sale is processed into flour. The purpose of this research was to analyze the use of several types of bananas for figs or flour. Organoleptic (test descriptions and hedonic test) Tests was conducted some banana fig and flour samples. The number of panelists that five people were taken randomly. The results are obtained the sale that made from banana Siem / Kepok in sample 2 has a sweet taste, a distinctive aroma, and texture that is preferred by the panelists of five people.

Kusumiyati dkk.: Pengaruh waktu simpan terhadap nilai total padatan terlarut, kekerasan dan susut bobot buah mangga arumanis Kusumiyati • Farida • W. Sutari • J. S. Hamdani • S. Mubarok Pengaruh waktu simpan terhadap nilai total padatan terlarut, kekerasan dan susut bobot buah mangga arumanisThe effect of storage duration on total dissolved solids, firmness and weight loss of arumanis mango fruit Diterima : Abstract Arumanis mango is one of mango's leading commodities in Majalengka, West Java. Fruit sellers generally marketed mango fruit using bamboo wicker baskets mainly with the aim of making it easier for consumers to carry the fruit. In addition, the price of bamboo wicker basket is also cheap, hence the packaging of bamboo wicker basket is widely used by mango fruit sellers. During storage, mangoes experience changes in chemical and physical properties. These changes include the value of fruit firmness, total dissolved solids (TDS), and weight loss. The purposes of this study were to determine changes in firmness, TDS and weight loss at different storage duration using bamboo wicker baskets. The experimental design used in this research was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments, which are 0 day, 7 days and 14 days storage duration with 10 replications. The numbers of samples used were 90 samples of arumanis mangoes. The results of this study indicated that there were changes in the value of firmness, TDS and weight loss in each treatment.
