AFFANDY SAHALA TUA MARPAUNG. A. 1710957. Effects of Nitrogen
Source Organic Fertilizer Application on the Growth and Production of Green Bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Under immediate Supervision of Arifah Rahayu and Nur
Rochman.
This study was aimed at assessing the effects of the application of different
types of N source liquid organic fertilizers (LOF) on the growth and production of
green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The study was conducted at the Trial Farm of
Djuanda University, Bogor, West Java. A completely randomized design was used.
Treatments consisted of 11 levels of fertilizer applications, namely no fertilizer,
100% R mexican sunflower, 100% R kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata), 100% R
cattle urine, 100% R urea, 75% R mexican sunflower + 25% R urea, 75% R
kirinyuh+ 25% R urea, 75% R cattle urine + 25% R urea, 50% R mexican sunflower
+ 50% R urea, 50% R kirinyuh + 50% R urea, and 50% R cattle urine + 50% R
urea. Results showed that compared to the use of 100% R urea, the application of
N source LOF did not give any significant effects on all parameters measured. This
indicated that N source LOF could be used as urea alternative in natural farming
systems.
Key words : green bean, mexican sunflower, kirinyuh, cattle urine
