Aplikasi Kompos Gulma Paitan (Tithonia Diversifolia) untuk Meningkatkan Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Kacang Hijau (Vigna Radiata L.)

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of paitan compost in increasing the growth and yield of mung beans and to obtain a dose of paitan compost that provides the best growth and yield of green beans. The study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Jambi University, 35 m above sea level. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with one factor, namely the provision of paitan weed compost consisting of 5 treatment levels, namely: p0 = fertilizer N , P and K recommendations, p1 = 7.5 tons ha-1 paitan compost, p2 = 15 tons ha-1 paitan compost, p3 = 22.5 tons ha-1 paitan compost, p4 = 30 tons ha-1 paitan compost. Each treatment was repeated 5 times. Variables observed were plant height, plant crown dry weight, weight (root dryness, number of pods per plant, seed weight per plant, weight of 1000 seeds yield ton ha-1). The results showed that the application of paitan weed compost had a significant effect on all variables. The application of Paitan weed compost at a dose of 30 tons ha-1 as a whole has been able to provide the best growth and yield of green bean plants
