KADAR HARA NITROGEN (N-TOTAL) DENGAN PERLAKUAN PUPUK ORGANIK DAN KORELASINYA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DA HASIL TANAMAN KACANG TANAH (Arachis hypogaea L)

Abstract

Peanut plants require nitrogen a nutrient content of nitrogen to enhance plant growth and maximize

production. Increased nutrients content of nitrogen in the soil can be achieved by adding organic

fertilizers. This research aims to determine the effect of organic fertilizer (burnt husk and chicken

manure) on N-total nutrient levels in peanut plants, to determine organic fertilizers (rice husk ash and

chicken manure) on the nutrient content of nitrogen (N-total) in peanut cultivation, to identify the organic

fertilizers ( rice husk ash and chicken manure) that will provide the highest N-total content in peanut

cultivation (Arachis hypogaea L.) and to ascertain the correlation between N-total content and the growth

and yield of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.). This research was conducted from September to

November 2022 in Toto Utara Village, Tilongkabila Subdistrict, Bone Bolango Regency. The research

employs a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisted of 3 treatment levels: P0 = without

organic fertilizer, P1 = chicken manure fertilizer 3kg/plot, and P2 = rice husk ash fertilizer 3kg/plot. Each

treatment was replicated four times, resulting in 12 units/plots. The results indicate that organic fertilizers

significantly affect the N-total nutrient content, with N-total nutrient content in the fertilizer treatment of

chicken manure at 0.34% and in the fertilizer treatment of rice husk ash at 0.29%. There is a strong and

very strong positive linear correlation between plant height, number of pods, seed weight per plant, and

seed weight per hectare with total N-total nutrient content
