Abstract

This research aims to determine and analyze the responses of fermented pig feces and kepok banana peels on the productivity of odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum Cv. Mott). This research was carried out in the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra with a land area of 100 m2. This research was carried out from August 2023 to November 2023. This research used 20 odot grass (Pennisetum Purpureum Cv. Mott) cuttings. The design used in this research was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Treatments consisted of P0 (No fertilizer), P1 (100 gr fermented pig feces and kepok banana peel waste/polybag), P2 (150 gr fermented pig feces and kepok banana peel waste/poly bag), P3 (fermented fecal fertilizer pigs and kepok banana peel waste as much as 200 gr/polybag), P4 (Pig feces fermentation fertilizer and kepok banana peel waste as much as 250 gr/polybag). The parameters observed were plant height, number of tillers, leaf length, leaf width, fresh material and dry material. The research results showed that there was a real influence on plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, leaf width, fresh material production and dry material production. The use of fermented pig feces fertilizer and kepok banana peel waste at a dose of 250 gr/polybag shows better results compared to the use of 0 - 200 gr/polybag. The conclusion of this research is that fermented pig feces fertilizer and kepok banana peel waste are suitable for use as organic fertilizer at a dose of 250 gr/polybag to in
