Field corn (Zea mays L.) experiments were conducted in the field in a 7-yr study to determine the cause of poor growth on summer-fallowed land and find a means of reducing the problem. Low phosphorus (P) levels in seedling tissue were associated with the poor growth. The symptoms were most severe where P levels in the soil were low, spring temperatures high and soil moisture low. The addition of P fertilizer with the seed greatly improved seedling growth of the corn and sometimes increased grain yield.Key words: Field corn, Zea mays L., summer fallow, phosphorus

Kernel Yield

Germination of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) on moist filter paper or submerged in distilled water or hydrogen peroxide solutions was compared at different temperatures. Subsequent growth in soil was evaluated. Seedling growth from seed pregerminated on moist paper was superior to that from seed pregerminated while submerged in either water or H2O2 solutions. Overnight pregermination on moist paper at 32 C, which corresponded to the first emergence of the radicles, followed by planting in the field, generally resulted in hastened emergence, higher percentage emergence, and increased seedling green weights; however, there was no consistent hastening of maturity or increase in kernel yield in plots thinned to equal stands. Pregermination would probably be most useful with weak seed.

A glass house study was conducted to evaluate the contribution of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) in improving maize yield grown on sandy loam of Northern Lombok. The package of organic fertilizers treatments were tested including: without inoculation of mycorrhiza, inoculation mycorrhiza and no added inorganic fertilizers, inoculation of mycorrhiza with cattle manure added, inoculation of mycorrhiza with rock phosphate added and inoculation mycorrhiza with inorganic fertilizers. The treatments were arranged using a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. The results of the study show that the inoculation of AMF significantly increased soil concentration of N, available-P, K and organic-C by 37.39%, 60.79%, 66.66% and 110.15% respectively observed at 60 days after sowing (DAS). The similar trend was also found at 100 DAS, where those nutrients increased by 21.48%, 69%, 43.93% and 37.07%, respectively compared to control. The improving of soil fertility status was also reflected by nutrients uptake (i.e. N, P, K, Ca) as well as growth and yield of maize. N, P, K and Ca uptake increased by 1,608%, 1,121%, 533% and 534%, respectively. Roots and top dry biomass at 60 DAS increased by 718.40% and 337.67%, respectively. The trend increased of the biomass was followed by observation at 100 DAS. Yield components including cobs, grain and weight of 100 grains increased by 313.60%, 411.84% and 137.54%, respectively. In addition, the inoculation of AM with F2 contributed significantly to the spore numbers and root infection.[How to Cite : Astiko W, IR Sastrahidayat, S Djauhari, and A Muhibuddin. 2013.
