Abstract

The research aimed to analyze the production of fresh and dry ingredients of odot (Pennisetum purpureum cv Mott) grass at different planting distances and defoliation ages. The research was conducted in two places, namely the Field Laboratory and the Laboratory of Nutrition and Feed Analysis of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry Halu Oleo University, Kendari. The research used a factorial design. Distances consisted of three levels: 60 x 90 cm, 75 x 90 cm, and 90 x 90 cm while the defoliation ages consisted of 3 levels: 60 days after sowing (DAS), 90 DAS and 120 DAS. The results of the research showed that highest average production fresh matter of odot grass was obtained in the combination of planting distance treatment of 60cm x 90cm and defoliation age of 120 DAS (22.11 tons/ha) which was actually higher than the average production of fresh matter odot grass in the combination of planting distance treatment of 90cm x 90cm and defoliation age of 60 DAS (9.1 tons / ha). The conclusion is that the interaction of planting distance treatment and cutting age indicates the production of fresh matter odot grass 13.51 tons/ha.
