Abstract

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one type of nuts that have not been widely cultivated in Indonesia. On sandy soil nutrient deficiency is very high so that one of the cultivation techniques used by farmers is to increase the use of inorganic and organic fertilizers. The use of organic fertilizers such as chicken manure as a base fertilizer and the addition of urea during the growth phase and filling the pods. The purpose of this study is to study the response of cowpea plants to the provision of chicken manure and urea as well as the interaction of both on the growth and yield of cowpea plants. The research was carried out from October 2020 to March 2021 at the visitor-plot garden of Central Kalimantan AIAT. The study used a randomized complete block (RCB) factorial repeated 3 times. The use of chicken manure as a factor 1 consists of 3 levels, namely: chicken manure dose of 3 t ha-1 (A1), chicken manure 6 t ha-1 (a2), chicken manure 12 t ha-1. Urea fertilizer as factor 2 consists of 3 levels, namely: urea fertilizer 25 kg ha-1 (U1), urea fertilizer 50 kg ha-1 (U2), urea fertilizer 75 ha-1 (U3). Observation is carried out in a non-destructive and destructive manner. In addition, supporting observations include soil analysis. The Data obtained were analysis using the F-test at the level of 5%. The results showed that the application of chicken manure and urea fertilizer had a significant effect on plant height, the leaf area index, the relative growth rate of plants and the total dry weight of plants. The use of urea fertilizer gave a positive response to plant height, leaf area, dry weight of seeds, total number of pods, pod weight and seed yield (t ha-1).
