Effect of Planting Patterns and Mulch Types on Weed Growth and Yield of Sweet Corn and Red Bean

This study proposed to determine highest in rank cropping pattern and type of mulch in the intercropping plan of sweet corn and wine beans in organic farming orders. The research was conducted in Air Duku Village, Bengkulu at 1054 m above ocean's surface. The experimental design was RCBD with two determinants. The first factor was cutting patterns consisted of monocultures of sweet grain, monocultures red bean, and intercropping of sweet grain and red beans. The second determinant was organic mulch types involving rice hay, coffee husk, edible grain husk manure, and control (without manure). Data were analyzed using an reasoning of variance (ANOVA) (α= 5%). The situation means were separated by LSD. Plant altitude, plant dry weight, husk cob weight, unhusked raises animals weight, outdo a performance husked burden per plot was measured for sweet corn plants, while maroon bean plants were evaluated for plant height, the number of seeds, children weight, source weight per plot, and weeds were noticed for weight dry. Study resulted intercropping can restrain weeds on red beans but not in sweet grain. Sweet corn-red berry intercropping suppressed grass growth, and mulch request of rice hay and rice husks efficiently controlled weeds. The growth and yield of sweet grain planted in intercropping are equivalent to that of age in monoculture. Red-beans has higher yield in monoculture than intercropping even though the development is not different middle from two points the two crops. This result is important in grass manejemen in organic ranching practice.
