Uji Germinasi Benih Kedelai (Glycine max L.) terhadap Pupuk Organik Cair Kotoran Kambing

Abstract

Soybeans (Glycine max L.) are one of the strategic food commodities at the national level with demand continuing to increase every year. The need for soybeans continues to increase along with population growth. Soybean production continues to be increased to meet the need for raw materials for making tofu, tempeh, soy sauce and other products. Testing the viability and vigor of soybean seeds with liquid organic fertilizer from goat manure had a very significant effect on germination capacity, maximum growth potential and vigor index. This research used a completely randomized design consisting of three treatments, namely control (K0), 50 mL of liquid organic fertilizer (K1) and 100 mL of liquid organic fertilizer (K2). The research stages are making liquid organic fertilizer from goat manure, applying liquid organic fertilizer and testing soybean seed germination. The results of research on germination power parameters, maximum growth potential and vigor index provide a real influence on 50 mL and 100 mL of liquid organic fertilizer from goat manure. Liquid organic fertilizer can increase plant vigor, make it stronger and stronger, increase resistance to drought, stimulate the growth of production branches, increase the formation of flowers and fruit ovaries, and reduce the loss of flowers and fruit ovaries.
