Pengaruh Pengelolaan Hara NPK Terhadap Ketersediaan N Dan Hasil Tanaman Padi Sawah (Oryza Sativa L.) Di Desa Waelo Kecamatan Waeapo Kabupaten Buru

Abstract

This study was conducted in Waelo Village, Waeapo Subdistrict, Buru District, with the objectives to determine N fertilizer application timing to increase rice yield and to understand the response of two rice varieties commonly grown in Waeapo. The experimental method used in this study was a Randomized Complete Block Design, with several fertilization treatments (NPK, NK,NP, PK and control), and rice varieties (Membramo and Mekongga), and with three replications. The results showed that administration of N fertilizer (NP, NK, NPK) gave significant effects on plant height, leaf color, full grain number per panicle, 1000 grain weight, dry grain yield, soil N content and leaf N content;  meanwhile it did not affect soil reaction (pH). A low rice yield was obtained in the treatment without N fertilizer, with 2.50 kg dry grain yield per plot and PK treatment with 2.78 kg  dry grain yield per plot.
