Effect of Rhizobium Inoculum and Liquid Organic Fertilizer on Growth and Yield of Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) CV. Takar-2

Abstract The purpose of this research was to know the interaction effect of Rhizobium inoculants and liquid organic fertilizer on growth and yield of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cv. Takar-2. The experimental design used Randomized Complete Block Design by Factorial pattern, with two factors and repeated three times. First factor is rhizobium inoculants with three levels (5, 10, 15 g kg -1 seed) per plots. The second factor is liquid organic fertilizer with three levels (0, 3, 6 ml/l water). The result showed that there was a significant interaction between Rhizobium inoculants and liquid organic fertilizer to a number of filling pods per crop, weight of fresh pods per plot, and weight of dry pods per plot. Rhizobium inoculants gave rates significantly effect on plant height at 38 Days After Planted (DAP), number of leaves per crop, number of branches per crop at 33 and 38 DAP, root volume, number of root nodules and effective root nodules, number of gynophore, weight of fresh and dry pods per plot, and weight of 100 grains of dry beans. The concentration liquid organic fertilizer effect on number of gynophore number, weight of fresh and dry pods per plot, the weight of 100 grains of dry beans.
