Effect of Intercropping Models and Spacing Arrangement of Rice Bean (Vigna Angularis L.) Local Cultivar on Growth and Yield of Maize Plant (Zea Mays L.)

Maize and bean crops are two types of plants suitable for intercropping. The objective of this research is 1) growth and yield of maize in intercropping cropping pattern; 2) the best intercropping models in improving the growth and yield of maize; and 3) good plant spacing arrangement in cropping pattern of intercropping of maize and rice beans. The experiment was conducted in experimental garden of Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Timor from December 2016 until March 2017. All treatments of the plot experiment were arranged in a Factorial Randomized Completely Block Design (RAK) 3 × 2 + monoculture with three replicates Treatment, the first factor is intercropping models consisting of three levels: interspace intercropping; and Salome intercropping; Alternative intercropping and the second factor is the arrangement of maize cropping spacing: Single row; Double row. The results showed the interaction between intercropping model and plant spacing arrangement to observation parameter of dry seed weight per plot, dry weight of seed per hectare. Maize crops intercropped with rice beans in the treatment of intercropping model of Salome with arrangement spacing double row resulted in the highest dry weight of seeds per plot of 269.31 g and 0.89 t / ha.

Pathogenic Fungi in Some Maize Varieties in North Central Timor District

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important food because corn is the second source of carbohydrates after rice. Seeds are one of the important components in the successful increase of agricultural production. This study aims to determine the type of fungi associated to corn seed (Zea mays L.) conducted from April to May 2017 at the faculty of agriculture, Timor University. Using Completely Randomized Design (RAL) Factorials and methods used are sampling, observation and pathogen identification performed by morphological characterization, Seedling power testing and maximum growth potential by the UKDdp method. The seeds used are small white local varieties, large white local varieties and hybrids, derived from several localities based on the locality of Eban 1000 meters above sea level, Mamsena 400-800 meters above sea level, Wini 100-200 meters above sea level. The results of identification were obtained by two genera of Aspergillus sp1, Aspergillus sp2, Aspergillus sp3 and Fusarium sp, Aspergillus sp1 highest fungal attack on small local varieties 7.78% and height of place T2 (Wini), Fusarium sp highest on hybrid corn varieties 40.00% and height of the highest place on T1 (Eban) 8.67%. The test of seed germination in the three varieties ranged between 16.44% -26.00%. ©2018 published by Savana Cendana.

The Effect of Concentration and Frequency of Organic Phythormone Watering on Growth and Results of Red Onion (Allium Ascalonicum L.)

This study aims to determine the effect of organic phytohormone administration on the growth and yield of shallots. Getting the best dose and frequency of organic phytohormone on the growth and yield of onions. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD), with a factorial pattern of 3 x 3. The first treatment was the concentration of organic matter (Y) with 3 levels, namely concentration (Y0), the concentration of 45 ml / l of water (Y1), and concentration of 90 ml / l water (Y2) and the second treatment is watering frequency (G) which consists of 3 levels, namely 1 week (G1), 2 weeks (G2), and 3 weeks (G3) The results of the study showed that there was no interaction between the combination of phytohormone dose treatment and frequency of phytohormone watering. Phytohormone dose treatment of 90 ml / l and frequency of watering once a week had a very significant effect on the observation of total plant fresh weight. The phytohormone 45 dose treatment did not significantly affect the treatment but the average showed the best plant growth.
