Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the soil management system and the dose of Azolla compost on the growth and yield of Mung Beans (Vigna radiata, L.) and the interactions that emerged from the two treatments. The research will be carried out in Alur Dua Village, Langsa Baro District, Langsa City. The altitude of the place is ± 8 meters above sea level. The research period starts from March to May 2021. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RAK) consisting of 2 factors, namely: Factors for tillage with the notation (P) consisting of 2 levels, namely: P1: minimum tillage, P2: perfect tillage. The two factors of Azolla fertilizer with the notation (A) consisting of 4 levels, namely: A0 : 0 g/plant, A1 : 60 g/plant, A2 : 120 g/plant, A3 : 180 g/plant. To describe the research results, observations were made on the parameters of plant height (cm), number of branches (fruit), number of pods per plant (pods), weight of 100 dry seeds (g) and production per plot (g). The results of the treatment of the soil tillage system had no significant effect on the observations of plant height at the age of 15 WAP, 30 WAP and 45 WAP, Number of Branches Age 15 WAP, 30 WAP and 45 WAP, Number of Pods Per Plant, Weight of 100 Dry Seeds and Production Per Plot. Azolla fertilizer treatment had no significant effect on plant height observations of 15 WAP, 30 WAP and 45 WAP, Number of Branches Age 15, 30 WAP and 45 WAP, Number of Pods Per Plant, Weight of 100 Dry Seeds and Production Per Plot. The interaction of the treatment system of soil tillage and azolla fertilizer had no significant effect on the observations of plant height at 15 WAP, 30 WAP and 45 WAP, Number of Branches at 15 WAP, 30 MST and 45 WAP, Number of Pods Per Plant, Weight of 100 Dry Seeds and Production Per Plot.
