Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Kokazolla Fertilizer on Physiological Parameters and Production Components of Purple Maize (Zea mays L.)

Abstract

The production of purple maize was essential to maintain the soil fertility development without environmental impact. The arbuscular mycorrhiza and kokazolla fertilizer are biological and organic material applications in the field. This study aims to determine the effect of arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Kokazolla fertilizer on purple maize production. This experiment used a group randomized design separate plot design. The main plot consists of 3 treatments (e0 = control, e1 = Mycorrhiza dose 7.5 g/plant, e2 = Mycorrhiza dose 15 g/plant), and the plot consists of 4 treatments (l0 = Control - NPK dose 0.3 Ton/Ha, 1 = Kokazolla dose 6.25 Ton/Ha, l2 = Kokazolla dose 12.5 Ton/Ha, and l3 = Kokazolla dose 18.75 Ton/Ha). The results showed that the application of Mycorrhizal biofertilizer 15 g/plant+Kokazolla fertilizer 18.75 Ton/Ha was higher for male flowering age, female flowering age, cob weight with petals per Ha, and cob weight without petals per Ha.
