Seedling on Combination of Inorganic-organic Fertilizers and Shading Level}, volume={3}, url={https://www.ajouronline.com/index.php/AJAS/article/view/3275}, abstractNote={<p>Coffea arabica L. grows naturally under shading with low intensity of sunlight, but optimum growth of coffee is not only determined by shading levels but also by nutrient availability. The objective of this research is to know the effect on the combination of inorganic-organic fertilizers and shading levels on growth of coffee seedling. The research was conducted in Bogor Agricultural University Experimental Station, Cikabayan, Darmaga-Bogor, from May 2013 to February 2014. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The main plots were four shading levels, i.e. 25%, 50%, 75% and 95%, while subplots were five combinations of inorganic-organic fertilizers: inorganic, coffee pulp compost and organic manure. The best combination inorganic-organic fertilizer for coffee seedling growth was 25% inorganic fertilizer+75% organic manure.  The optimum shading level to support optimum growth of arabica coffee seedling was 62%. Interaction between shading levels and combination of inorganic-organic fertilizers significantly affected leaf number, stem diameter, leaf area and leaf thickness. The best combination treatment was 75% shading intensity with 25 % inorganic fertilizer + 75% organic manure.</p> <p>Keywords— Coffee pulp compost, arabica coffee, organic manure, light intensity<strong></strong></p>}, number={6}, journal={Asian Journal of Applied Sciences}, author={Muliasari, Ade Astri and Supijatno, Ade Wachjar,}, year={2015}, month={Dec.} }
