Respons pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman hanjeli (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) terhadap kombinasi jarak tanam dan jenis pupuk kandang di dataran medium Sukasari, Sumedang

Sari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jarak tanam dan jenis pupuk kandang yang memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman hanjeli (Coix Lacryma-jobi L.). Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Desember 2015 hingga bulan Mei 2016 di desa Sindangsari, Sukasari, Sumedang. Lokasi penelitian memiliki ketinggian ± 800 m di atas permukaan laut (dpl) termasuk tipe iklim C3 menurut klasifikasi Oldemann. Rancangan percobaan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) terdiri dari sembilan perlakuan dengan tiga kali ulangan, sehingga total terdapat 27 petak percobaan, yaitu  jarak tanam 50 x 50 cm + pupuk kandang ayam 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 50 cm + pupuk kandang kambing 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 50 cm + pupuk kandang sapi 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 75 cm + pupuk kandang ayam 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 75 cm + pupuk kandang kambing 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 75 cm + pupuk kandang sapi 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 100 cm + pupuk kandang ayam 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 100 cm + pupuk kandang kambing 5 ton/ha, jarak tanam 50 x 100 cm + pupuk kandang sapi 5 ton/ha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh jarak tanam dan jenis pupuk kandang terhadap indeks luas daun, bobot kering akar, dan bobot biji per rumpun. Secara keseluruhan perlakuan jarak tanam 50 x 75 cm + pupuk kandang ayam memberikan pengaruh lebih baik terhadap tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, jumlah anakan, dan jumlah malai per rumpun.Kata Kunci: Hanjeli, jarak tanam, pupuk kandang  Abstract. The objectives of this experiment were to obtain the best of Plant Spacing and Manure Type for growth and yield of job’s tears. This experiment was conducted from Desember 2015 to May 2016 at Sukasari Sumedang. Location of experiment have altitude of about ± 800 metres above sea level and climate type was C3 (Oldemann climate type). Experimental design used randomized block design (RBD), that consisted of nine treatments with three replications, so there are 27 experimental plots. The treatments were plant spacing 50 x 50 cm + chicken manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 50 cm + goat manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 50 cm + cow manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 75 cm + chicken manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 75 cm + goat manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 75 cm + cow manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 100 cm + chicken manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 100 cm + goat manure 5 ton/ha, plant spacing 50 x 100 cm + cow manure 5 ton/ha. The result of this research showed that plant spacing and manure type affected leaf area index, root dry weight, and seed weight. Plant spacing 50 x 75 cm + chicken manure 5 ton/ha gave a better effect on plant height, the number of leaves, number of tillers, and number of panicles.Keywords: Job’s tears, plant spacing, manure
