| Summary: | ABSTRACT: This research activity aims to know the productivity of legume cover crop Pueraria
javanica inoculated Rhizobium and cattle urine. P. Javanica legume was planted on 24 plots using
size of 3x2 m and planting space of 30 cm in palm oil plantations East Kutai. There were four
treatments, with inoculated Rhizobium (R+), without inoculated Rhizobium (R-), urine cattle
(U+) and without urine (U-) of the six replications (plots). Rhizobium bacteria inoculated on P.
Javanica seeds before planting, urine was given after a 2 week old plants. The research design
used completely randomized factorial design (2x2) with 6 replication, data were analyzed using
ANOVA and continued with Duncan test if the treatment effect on the parameters observed. Data
collected were: germination percentage, dry weight yields, leaves and steam weight, leaves and
steam ratio, number and weight of root nodule, nutrient content (e.g. organic matter, crude protein,
ash, crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber), tannin and fenol. The results showed
that percentage germination below 50% and not significantly, interaction Rhizobium and urine
were significantly (P<0.05) on dry weight production and steam production. There was no effect on other parameters. It was concluded that Rhizobium and urine treatment given better results in
crop production.
