Abstract

ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the growth and yield of grass Brachiaria humidicola on sandy soil.
The design used Randomized Block Design arranged in a factorial pattern consists of two factors.
The first factor was dosage of chicken manure consisting of three levels of 0, 20 and 30 t ha-1 and
the second factor was the dosage of N-P-K fertilizer consisting of four levels ie 0, 125, 250 and 500
kg ha-1
. The results showed that the application of manure with doses of 30 t ha-1 of grass
Brachiaria humidicola grew tended to be higher, and N-P-K fertilizer with doses of 500 kg ha-1
number of tiller per real clump (49,50 tillers) tends to be higher (124,9 cm) N-P-K fertilizer with
dosage of 500 kg ha-1
, without manure obtained fresh plant weight grass Brachiaria humidicola
highest 5.807 g m-2
Keywords: Brachiaria humidicola grass, manure and N-P-K, sandy soil
