Description
Summary:Rice (Oryza sativa) is the main food crop that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. However, the rice production has not been able to meet the people's needs for rice. According to BPS East Java (2015), the decline in rice production in Java was due to a decrease in productivity of 0.17 kw / ha (0.33%). One of the ways to increase the productivity of rice is the use of external compounds such as growth regulators or phytohormones which function to influence the growth, development and movement of plant taxis by stimulating or changing them. One of the plants that can be used is tobacco. Apart from functioning as biopesticides, tobacco plants also have the potential to be used as growth regulators because they contain allelopathic substances, organic materials and other phenolic compounds that can affect plant growth, especially the production of the hormone gibberellin and anthesin at the right application intervals. This study aimed to determine the effect of the interval of tobacco extract application on the growth and yield of rice plants of Inpari 32 variety. The study was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatment intervals, namely control (F0), once a week (F1), once every two weeks. (F2), and every three weeks (F3). Tests were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA at the 5% level and continued with the DMRT test. The variables observed included plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, growth rate, phytohormones (IAA and GA3), flowering age, harvesting age, shoot and root dry weight, shoot-root stover ratio, 1000 grain weight, ratio of pithy grain to total grain, grain weight per hill, grain weight per plant, and productivity (tonnes / ha). The results showed that the application interval treatment had a significant effect on the number of leaves and the treatment interval for the application of tobacco extract once a week (F1) showed a trend towards better results.
