<p>Corn (Zea mays) is a primary source of food after rice, considered as cerealia crops. This research to analyzing about growth and yield of several variety of hybrid corn on phospat fertilizer dosage giving because in Indonesia the land is nutrient-deficient phospat. This research has been held on June until October 2017 in Kecamatan Piyungan, Kabupaten Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Plan which used in this research are Split Plot Design which consist of 2 factors which observed three varieties of hybrid corn (ABCD, EFGH and IJKL) as main plot and phospat fertilizer dosage giving (0, 100 and 150 kilogram ha) as sub plot which repeated three times. Research fact found that the topography of the research field is 40% of the plains with a slope of less than 2% and 60% of hilly areas with a slope above 40.1% and the type of the soil is regosol with the highest temperature recorded at the study site was 32ºC with the lowest temperature of 23ºC, then phospat fertilizer dosage is strongly influence the growth and yield of each hybrid corn variety. The best dosage of fosfat fertilizer for corn growth is 150 kilogram ha on each variety, which are ABCD variety, EFGH, and IJKL. The best habit of the growth and yield of hybrid corn is on the phospat fertilizer dosage giving at 150 kilogram ha with variety EFGH.</p>
The possible risk of yield losses due to drought stress could threaten rice production and national food security. One way to deal with drought limitations is by developing drought- tolerant varieties using gamma-ray irradiation. This research aimed to get the optimal dose of gamma-ray radiation to create an M7 generation of Mentik Wangi variety that is drought tolerant. Field experiments were conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 at the Screen House of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, the Laboratory of Soil Physics, and the Laboratory of Plant Production Management, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada. This study has carried out using a Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors. The first factor is gamma-ray irradiation dose (0gy. 100gy, 200gy, 300gy), and the second factor is drought stress treatment (without drought stress and drought stress in the flowering stage) with three replications. The results showed no interaction between gamma-ray irradiation dose and drought stress on all observed variables except plant dry matter. Drought stress in the flowering stage increased the percentage of unfilled grain, reducing the harvest index and grain weight significantly by 40.9%. Gamma-ray irradiation in a range of 100 to 300 gy did not affect panicle numbers and length, also the percentage of unfilled grain, but reduced the number of grains per panicle, thereby reducing the harvest index and grain weight 45.0% compared to those without irradiation.
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.
