Abstract

This research aimed to know: a) influence of cow slurry organic fertiliser on growth and yield of sweet corn, b) best dosage level of cow slurry organic fertiliser on growth and yield of  sweet  corn  to  substiture  NPK  chemical  fertiliser.  This  research  used  Randomized Blocked  Design  in  single  factor  with  six  treatments  and  four  replication.  The  results showed that 1) the application of cow slurry organic fertiliser made significant different on the growth and yield of sweet corn. 2) Application of 400 kg Urea per hectar (96 g/plot), 350 kg SP36 per hectar (84 g/plot) dan 100 kg KCl per hectar (24 g/plot) gave the best growth and yield of sweet corn. 3) Application of liquid organic fertiliser at 5000 l/ha was the most optimal for growth and yield of sweet corn compared to all other cow slurry dosage level.
