Effects of Liquid and Solid Organic Fertilizer from Urine and Feces of Cow on Rice Production

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Liquid and Solid Organic fertilizers from Urine and feces of Cows on Rice Production. It was conducted on March-July, 2019 in Siti Mulyo village, Piyungan sub-district, and Bawuran village, Pleret sub-district, Bantul regency, Indonesia. Furthermore, about 74 farmers were included and were divided into three differing patterns (A, B, and C) of 16, 30 28 respectively. Farmers in A and B conducted solid and liquid organic fertilizer application methods for 4 ton/ha and 3.2 liter/ha. The rice planting system of A was similar Tajarwo 4:1 while B appeared as squares (25 cm × 25 cm). Pattern C farmers used fertilizer and rice planting systems according to their habits. The variables observed were plant height at harvest, number of productive tillers, panicle length, amount of grain/panicle, amount of green grain/panicle, and dry gain production. Data were analysed using analysis of variance and Duncan Multiple Range Test for significant differences. The results of the study showed that the growth of rice cropping patterns A, B, and C were not different. However, rice production was significantly different, where pattern A, B, and C was 8.36 ± 1.48 t ha-1, 7.84 ± 1.24 t ha-1 and 7.48 ± 0.54 t ha-1 respectively.

The Effects of Using Liquid Organic NPK Fertilizer for Rice Plant Growth and Production (Oriza sativa L.)

“…This is presumably because the administration of 5.0% LOF has fulfilled the plants' nutrient needs. This is in agreement with Sutardi, Gunawan, Winarti, and Cahyaningrum (2021), who stated that the provision of LOF in each treatment has an effect on the number of panicles.…”
