Abstract

This study was carried out to alluvial landform of Tolongio Main Garden of Gorontalo Utara Regency of Gorontalo Province, at Agriculture Technology Laboratory of Agriculture Faculty, Gorontalo State University. Thr objective of this research was to determine the effect of Pelangi fertillizing on the production parameters and also to conduct the best dosage to obtain good responses on the production parameters of corn od Lamuru FM, Bisi-2 and Motor variety.The plot were arranged in a block design of split plot which where variety was a main plot with three treatments are Lamuru FM (V1), Bisi 2 (V2) and Motor (V3), while Pelangi fertilizer as a sub plot with fourth treatments are 0 kg/ha (PO0), 75 kg/ha (PO1), 150 kg/ha (PO2), 225 kg/ha (PO3) by three replications.This study showed that fertilizing Pelangi have significantly effect on the production parameters are plant age polination and grain weight of corn, however it was not significant on the plant heigth of corn. The recommended dosage and variety were 225 kg/ha (PO3) and Lamuru FM for production of corn, respectively.

Keywords: Alluvial, corn, production, fertilizing, optimum.

Abstract

The rainfall, relative humidity and temperature data of North Isimu Area of Gorontalo Regency were collected for period 1961-2005. For land suitability purpose, the potential evapotranspiration is cumputed using Thorwhitw Methods. This area which has dry season of 3 month and growing period of 5 month is potential for development of the yearround of maize when correct planting time is properly carried out. The computation of water balance used as basic strategy for water management and crop calendars. Rainfall, relative humidity and temperature are component which determinees alnd suitability of maize. Land suitability analysis for maize development using category system based on limiting factor method. Then, the computation of comparative suitability value using Felozardo (1978) method. The result of this research has shown that land suitability classes for maize development based on climate factors are moderately suitable (S2). Then, the comparative suitability value of this area are 86.67%. The crop calendar for maize development at North Isimu Upland area is January until March as first cultivation and April until July as second cultivation. In soil factor are very supproting for maize developing at North Isimu Upland area.

Keywords: Land suitability, climate, maize, crop calendar, upland, Isimu Utara.
