Abstract :
Sandy soil has low organic matter content, low
adsorption capacity, low cation exchange capacity, high
permeability, and a high sensitivity to erosion. Such
situations often cause crop failure, and efforts to improve
growth, crop yields, and soil productivity become a major
problem. However, how much influence the addition of
liquid bioameliorant in sandy soil on the growth and yield
of glutinous corn plants has not yet been revealed. The
research aimed to study the effect of several liquid
bioameliorant concentration on increase growth and yield
of glutinous corn in sandy soil. The experiment was
carried out in Telaga Wareng Hamlet, West Winner
Village, West Winner District, North Lombok Regency,
from May to August 2023. The experiment was conducted
using a randomized block design with five bioameliorant
concentrations, namely 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ml l-1
.
The best liquid bioameliorant concentration for glutinous
corn production is 500 ml l-1
, which can increase plant
height, number of leaves, the concentration of available P
and total soil N, uptake of N and P by plants, number of
spores, colonization of roots, as well as the weight of wet
and dry plant stems in sandy soil. Liquid bioameliorant
concentrations of 500 ml l-1 produce the highest root dry
weight, shoot dry weight, and yield.
