Daftar Isi:
  • Indonesia rice production is not yet meet the need of main staple of its citizens due to increasing consumption per capita and income of the citizen. One of solution to meet the main staple need of the citizens is to utilize the peat area which characterized with low pH, low fertility, and high in organic acid substances. To overcome those limitations is by applying ameliorants which were ultisol soil, hull ash, and dolomite (as first factors) and four local rice varieties which were sokam, IR-64, ciherang, and batang lembang (as second factors). The study was conducted in December 2007 through April 2008, at Pelokan village, Mukomuko District of Bengkulu Province. The study used split plot design in two factors. The combination of both factors resulted in sixteen pairs of treatments which replicated three times. The analysis of variances indicated that amelioran application resulted in differences on 1000 seed weight, while among local rice varieties showed differences in tiller number, productive tiller number, infertile seeds, and root dry weight. Interaction of both treatments indicated on 1000 seed weight. Sokam is the most favorable cultivar eventhough grown in that area without any ameliorant.
