Response of result component and edamame yield to the harvest waste and livestock manure in a wasteless edamame cultivation system

Abstract

South Kalimantan has good potential for developing edamame soybean cultivation due to its high demand and limited availability. Furthermore, the harvest waste can be reused as an alternative to fertilizer in the following season. Hence, no cultivation waste is lost. The addition of manure is believed to increase the nutrient availability for plants in acid dry land, thereby affecting soybean production. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potential effect of edamame harvest waste (LPE) and livestock manure on its cultivation. LPE was nested in livestock manure using a Nested Factorial Randomized Block Design. The treatment level of the first factor was chicken, cow, and goat manure, while the second factor was 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% LPE. The results showed that LPE combined with livestock manure affected plant development; 50% LPE treatment combined with 50% goat manure yielded a better developmental response compared to other treatments. Based on the results, LPE and livestock manure have the potential to increase plant production
