Abstract

This study aims to determine the performance yield component of sweet corn and weed density due to different kinds of fertilizer treatments. This study uses a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in factorial patterns with two factors. The first factor is biofertilizer-Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (biofertilizer-AMF) which consists of four levels, namely without biofertilizer-AMF (A0), biofertilizer-AMF 5 g/planting hole (A1), biofertilizer-AMF 10 g/planting hole (A2), biofertilizer-AMF 15 g/planting hole (A3). The second factor is cow manure fermented consisting of three levels, namely without cow manure (B0), cow manure 5 tons ha-1 (B1), cow manure 10 tons ha-1 (B2) with 3 replications so that there are 36 experimental units. The variables observed in this study were: cob length (cm), cob diameter (cm), number of seed rows, cob weight with husk (g), cob weight without husk (g) productivity of sweet corn plants (ton ha-1) and kinds of weeds and their absolute density. The results showed that the highest average corn crop productivity was obtained in the treatment without biofertilizer-AMF and cow manure fermented 10 tons ha-1 (A0B2) as 8.52 tons ha-1. If the combination of treatments contained biofertilizer-AMF and cow manure fermented, the highest average productivity of sweet corn was obtained in the treatment of biofertilizer-AMF 5 g/planting hole and cow manure fermented 10 tons ha-1 (A1B2) as 7.19 tons ha-1. The highest weed density from broadleaf is H.capitata (34.167%), from grasses is I.cylindrica (32.432%) and from sedges is Cyperus sp (30.21%).
