The principle of planting system “Jajar Legowo” is to increase the plant population by adjusting the spacing so that the crop will have a row of plants interspersed by empty rows where the spacing is on the row of rows half the spacing between rows. The purpose of this study to investigate the effect of different rice cropping patterns on weed growth. The research was conducted at Gampong Lhok Iboh, Baktiya district Barat North Aceh Regency started from March to June 2017. This research used non factorial Randomized Block Design which consists factor with 2 treatments: P1 (conventional cropping pattern) and P2 (jajar legowo). Observations included the amount of dominance (%), plant height (cm), number of tillers, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, and weight of 1000 grains per plot. The results revealed that cropping pattern had an effect on weed growth and production component of paddy. Planting system “jajar legowo” 2: 1 (25cm x 25 cm x 40 cm) was much better compared to conventional cropping pattern
Imperata weeds are very difficult to control. It is because the weeds have ability to regenerate rapidly through the stolon and seed. Weed control in principle is an effort to increase the competitiveness of basic crops and weaken the competitiveness of weeds. The use of glyphosate herbicide can be mixed with other ingredients; one of them is urea fertilizer. This study aims to reveal whether the mixture of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer at several doses can suppress weed growth. This study used Randomized Block Design factorial pattern, with two factors: (1) dose factor of glyphosate (G); G0 (control), G1 (glyphosate 100 ml liter), and G2 (200 ml liters of glyphosate). (2) urea fertilizer (P); P0 (control), P1 (urea 400 gram), and P2 (urea 600 gram). The results showed that the mixture of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer can suppress the growth and development of imperata weeds. The best treatment was found in a mixture of 200 ml of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer at a dose of 600 grams, while the lowest treatment was found in the control
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
