Abstract
Background: The excessive use of chemical fertilizers can lead to a decline in soil quality. One of the efforts to improve soil fertility is by using bio-fertilizers. An alternative fertilizer that can be used is liquid fertilizer derived from cow urine.
Aims: The study aimed to determine the optimal concentration of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) added to liquid cow urine fertilizer for the growth of sugarcane bud set varieties Cening and Bululawang.
Methods: The research was conducted in Jarak Village, Plosoklaten District, Kediri Regency, East Java, from May to July 2023. The design used was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with a factorial arrangement, consisting of 5x2 = 10 treatments, repeated 3 times as blocks, resulting in 30 experimental units. The observed variables included plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, fresh weight, and dry weight. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) if significant differences were found.
Result: The results showed a significant interaction effect of bio-fertilizers cow urine and msg on plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, fresh weight of leaves, fresh weight of stems, fresh weight of roots, and dry weight of roots.
