Abstract

AWANA ZALUKHU. The Effect of Rabbit Manure Bokashi and Rice Husk Charcoal on the Productivity of Odot Grass (Pennisetum Purpureum Cv. Mott)” (Supervised by TATI VIDIANA SARI and PENI PATRIANI).

This study aims to determine the effect of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal on the productivity of Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). The research was conducted at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, the Compost Center of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, and the Soil Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara. The study was designed as an experimental research using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments: P0 = Without rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal, P1 = 50 g of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal per polibag, P2 = 100 g of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal per polibag, P3 = 150 g of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal per polibag, P4 = 200 g of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal perpolibag. Each treatment was replicated 4 times. The parameters observed included plant height, number of tillers, leaf length, leaf width, number of leaves, fresh matter production, and dry matter production. The results showed significant effects on plant height, number of tillers, leaf width, leaf length, number of leaves, and fresh matter production but no significant effect on dry matter production. The use of 200 g of rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal per polibag resulted in better outcomes compared to 50-150 g per polibag. This indicates that rabbit manure bokashi and rice husk charcoal can be used as organic fertilizers to enhance the productivity of Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott).
