Abstrak

 


 Asystasia gangetica (L.) subsp. Micrantha is very potential as a superior forage with various advantages that not widely known by farmers. The study aimed to determine the effect and interaction between decomposition time and dosages of organic fertilizers from the solid waste of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the growth and yield of A. gangetica. The study was conducted out for 3 months in the Greenhouse, Sesetan Research Station, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors. There was 12 combinations of treatment and each treatment was repeated four times, so there was 48 unit trials experiment. The variables observed were growth variables, yields and characteristics of plant growth. The result showed that there was interaction between decomposition time and dosage of fertilizer on all variables except the variable of leaf stem ratio. Decomposition time of 2 and 4 weeks had better result than 0 week. Increasing of fertilizer dosage can increase growth and yield of A. gangetica. The conclusion was that there was interaction between decomposition time and dosages of fertilizer, and the best result was obtained on 2 weeks of decomposition time with 30 tons ha-1 dosage of fertilizer.
