- Abstract
Research to determine the effect of cow manure and NPK fertilizer on soil chemical fertility, soybean growth, and the yield on sandy soil was conducted in the coastal area of Bengkulu, Indonesia. Doses of cow manure consisting of 0, 30, 50, and 70 t ha−1 and NPK fertilizer composed of 0, 150, 300, and 450 kg ha−1 were arranged according to a randomized block design. The response of soybean plants was observed through plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, number of pods per plant, the weight of 100 seeds, and seed production per plot (1.5 m2). The results showed that coastal land with sandy characteristics was included as marginal land with low chemical and physical fertility. The application of cow manure and NPK fertilizers caused an increase in soil chemical fertility. The growth and yield of soybean plants were not significantly affected by the application of various doses of cow manure and NPK fertilizer. However, soybean seed yields tended to be higher with high dosages of cow manure and NPK fertilizers.
