SERAPAN FOSFOR OLEH TANAMAN JAGUNG PADA APLIKASI TEPUNG TULANG AYAM DAN BAHAN ORGANIK DI TANAH LATOSOL

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of chicken bone meal and organic materials on the absorption of P by corn plants grown in Latosol soil. The study used a two-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The first factor, the dosage of chicken bone meal consists of 4 levels: without chicken bone meal (T0), chicken bone meal 2% (T1), 4% (T2), 6% (T3) of the weight of organic material. The second factor, the type of organic material consists of 3 levels: without organic material (B0), compost 3% of the weight of the soil (B1) and manure 3% of the weight of the soil (B2). Each treatment was repeated 3 times. The results showed that chicken bone meal and organic material fertilizers had a significant effect on increasing the available P of Latosol soil and P absorption by corn plants. The provision of chicken bone meal fertilizer 4% of the weight of organic material and compost 3% of the weight of the soil was the best result for increasing the availability of P in Latosol soil and P absorption in corn.
