Abstract

The increasing demand for corn in West Kalimantan has resulted in the use of peatlands as a place for the development of corn cultivation. Peatlands have soil fertility constraints, namely high levels of acidity and lack of nutrients for plants. Therefore, in this study, peat soil was treated with sea mud as an alternative to lime and rice washing water as organic fertilizer to increase soil nutrient requirements and increase corn plant growth. This study aims to determine the effect of sea mud on corn plants on peat soil, to determine the effect of rice washing water on corn plants on peat soil and to determine the effect of a combination of sea mud and rice washing water on corn plants on peat soil. The method used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern consisting of two factors. The first factor was sea mud with control treatment, 80 g, 160 g and 240 g. The second factor was rice washing water with control treatment, 250 mL, 350 mL, and 450 mL. The results showed that the 240 g sea mud treatment had a significant effect on the growth of corn plants, the 350 mL rice washing water treatment had a significant effect on the corn plant growth, and the combination of 240 g sea mud treatment and 350 mL rice washing water was the best combination which had a significant effect on growth corn plant.
