The need for peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Indonesia increases year by
year either for consumption or industrial materials. Neverthelrs, the fact showed
that peanuts’ production in the country is still relatively low. To solve that
problem, the peanuts’ production must be increased. One of the ways to increase
the production is using the land effectively and fertilizing.
The study was aimed to know the peanuts plans response (Arachis
hypogaea L.) toward the frequency variation of giving KCl and Zeolit. The study
was conducted in Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto from April to June
2015. It was located at the height of ± 68 meters above sea level.
The study wass factorial experiment that arranged by using a randomized
block desing wit two factors. The first factor of the treatment on the frequency
variation of giving KCl included without the frequency variation of giving KCl
(K0), 100 kg/ha was given to the planting age of 7 and 21, (K1), 66,7 kg/ha was
given to 7, 21, 30 and 37 (K3). The second factor was zeolit that included without
zeolit (Z0) and the additional zeolit with the dosage of 10 ton/ha (Z1).
The result showed that the frequency variation of giving KCl with the
dosage of 100 kg/ha was the best treatment which was able to give the real effect
to plant height, the amount of branches and leaves. The treatment of giving zeolit
with the dosage of 10 ton/ha was able to give the real effect toward plant height in
the age of 28, the amount of branches of 28 and the amount of leaves of 28 and
35.
