Kajian Perbedaan Sumber Inokulum Mikoriza Dan Pupuk Organik Terhadap Serapan Unsur Hara Fosfor Pada Tanaman Jagung (Zea mays L.)
Abstract
Mycorrhiza helped the absorption of nutrients, especially phosphorus, and increased plant tolerance to pests and diseases, and was influenced by cropping patterns. This study aimed to examine the differences in mycorrhizal inoculum sources and organic fertilizers on phosphorus absorption in corn (Zea mays L.). The experiment used a completely randomized design with two factors: AMF spore source (M) with levels M0 (without spores), M1 (monoculture), M2 (intercropping), and M3 (a mixture of 50% M1 and 50% M2); and treatment inputs P0 (without input), P1 (rock phosphate and rice straw compost), P2 (carbofuran), and P3 (a combination of P1, P2, and rock phosphate). There were 16 treatment combinations replicated three times. The best results were obtained in treatment P3M3, with the highest results in plant tissue P, P uptake, soil available P, and total soil P, while the lowest results were in P2M0. The P3M3 treatment was a combination of rock phosphate, rice straw compost, carbofuran, and mycorrhizal spore sources from monoculture and intercropping systems.
