ABSTRACT

Increased yield of mung beans can be done in various ways, including by providing organic and inorganic fertilizers, namely the provision of rice husk ash combined with NPK fertilizer. The study was conducted in the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture of UISU, Johor Building, Medan, North Sumatra with a height of ± 25 m above sea level with flat topography. This study aims to determine the effect of giving rice husk ash and NPK Phonska fertilizer on the growth and yield of mung beans. This research used a factorial randomized block desig with three replications with variables of plant height, number of branches, pods number, flowering age, and root dry weight. The results showed that the application of rice husk ash and NPK Phonska fertilizer independently was able to increase the growth of green beans with a dose of 75 g/polybag and NPK Phonska fertilizer 40 g/polybag. While rice husk ash and NPK Phonska fertilizer combination has not been able to increase growth and yield of mung beans. Based on the regression equation, the optimum dose of rice husk ash and NPK Phonska fertilizer to increase plant height and number of branches of mung beans are 69.33 g/polybag, 39.67 g/polybag, 38.75 g/polybag, and 32.00 g/polybag, respectively.
