GROWTH AND YIELD OF DWARF ELEPHANT GRASS (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) GIVEN SOME DOSAGE OF LIQUID FERTILIZER COMBINATION OF DRAGON FRUIT WASTE AND BIOURINE
Abstrak
The study aimed to determine the growth and yield of dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum
cv. Mott) given several dosages of combination of dragon fruit waste and biourin liquid fertilizer. The research
was conducted at the Greenhouse, Sesetan Research Station, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University.
The study conducted for 8 weeks, using a completely randomized design (CRD) with six treatments and five replications so that there were 30 experimental units. The treatment given was dosages combination of dragon fruit waste liquid fertilizer and biourin consisted of 0 l ha 7500 l ha-1, 10000 l ha-1, 12500 l ha-1, 2500 l ha-1, 7500 l ha-1. The variables observed were growth variables, yield variables and plant growth characteristics variables. The results showed that the liquid fertilizer combination of dragon fruit waste and biourin could increase plant height, stem dry weight, root dry weight and total dry weight of forage, the ratio of dry weight of leaves to dry weight. Stem, and leaf area per pot. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the application of liquid fertilizer with a combination of dragon fruit waste and biourin could increase the growth and yield of dwarf elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott), and a dosage of 12500 l ha-1given the best growth and results.
