Aplikasi Jenis Mulsa Organik dan Sistim Tanam Jajar Legowo Terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Tanaman Kacang Tanah (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the agricultural commodities and is included as legume crops with excellent prospects to be developed in Indonesia. One of the causes is the increasing demand for consumption and processed industries. Thus, the research aimed to determine the interaction, types of organic mulch, and jajar legowo planting system towards growth and yield of peanuts. This research was conducted in Tanggikiki Village, Sipatana Subdistrict, Gorontalo City, from September to December 2020. It employed a Randomized Block Design consisting of two factors. The first factor was the types of organic mulch that comprised three treatment levels. The second factor was jajar legowo planting system comprised of two treatment levels. Each treatment was replicated three times. The parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, number of pods, and seed weight per sample. Data analysis used analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the least significant difference (LSD) test of 5%. The interaction of organic mulch and jajar legowo planting system had no influence on the growth and yield of peanuts. Organic mulch had an influence on the growth and yield of peanuts plant, including plant height and the number of leaves. Further, the jajar legowo planting system on the peanuts plant had an influence on the number of pods and seed weightpersample.
